Inspired by international development, social impact, and just really good chocolate, a few University of Arkansas alumni pulled together their savings in 2014 to buy the first pieces of chocolate making equipment that would eventually become Markham & Fitz. We believed that a simple chocolate bar could make a world of a difference: with flavor for customers, and with higher wages for farmers.

Markham & Fitz was founded on two principles: celebrating people and restoring the earth. From the beginning we've believed that even the smallest change can make lasting impact. From choosing to source cacao transparently, to prioritizing recyclable & compostable packaging, to integrating social impact and sustainability practices throughout the day to day, Markham & Fitz exists to celebrate people and make really good chocolate that leaves the planet better than we found it.
