Hello! My name is Mark Burrows and I founded  Pollinator Chocolate in the mountains of Colorado in 2019.

I’ve always been the guy who has a bar (or five) of chocolate on me at all times. Whether at home or on the road, I was always searching for my next delicious bar of craft chocolate.

I remember the first time I discovered a bar from Scharffen Berger, a small chocolate shop in San Francisco. This first experience with craft chocolate was a game changer. Suddenly I began to seek other companies that specialized in high-quality craft chocolate: Askinosie, Dandelion, Dick Taylor, to name a few. This new discovery not only drove me deeper into my chocolate obsession, but also inspired me to take the next step in my chocolate journey!

I loved learning from those who, just like me, were paving their own way in the chocolate industry.

Shortly thereafter, I made the exciting jump to my own bona-fide commercial space where I can create without restriction. From single origin to unique inclusion bars.

When I started this business, I knew that I wanted to be as eco-conscious as possible. I am very pleased to say that all of my shipping materials and chocolate packaging are plastic free and fully recyclable, compostable, and/or reusable!

All of my chocolate is ethically sourced as I ensure that all of my beans come from importers that guarantee their farmers a living wage and do not employ any form of slave or child labor.

We all hope you make the trip to our home and visit our factory/cocktail lounge/desert bar as soon as you can.
