The CHOCOLATE COWS STORY
I grew up partly on a farm in the Hunter Valley and dreamt of having my own little farmlet one day, maybe with a cow and some chickens.
In 2019, I came to Milton looking for that dream. I found this historic town, sitting on the ridge of the hill looking out to sea; still a farming community nestled among glorious beaches and restaurants.
I didn’t buy a farm. I bought a chocolate shop, a little slice of magic only seven years old but loved by locals. It was a little daunting, to be honest, to maintain the magic Woodstock Chocolate Co.’s, previous owners Jo and Dan Johnson, had created.
It’s hard to put into words what makes Woodstock Chocolate Co. so special. We have an amazing team – Ellie, Penny, Lou, Olivia, Danyah, Fiene, Ever, Hannah and Dan. And it’s not just the finest Belgian chocolate shop in the cutest town, it’s also uniquely local.
Today, we don’t just make the best chocolate honeycomb you’ve ever had. We make melt-in-your-mouth couverture cows - Angus, Hereford, Friesians and even belted Galloways. We travel past fields of the real thing on our way to work, but now? Now I am a farmer of chocolate cows.
