About Wild Ophelia

Wild Ophelia is a uniquely American brand featuring all-natural and often organic ingredients sourced from small farms and food artisans with a strong female focus. She is the symbol of a free-spirited entrepreneur, a positive influence and role model. These new chocolate bars tell an American story, and bridge the divide between the local, American farmers' movement and chocolate. Wild Ophelia supports farmers and artisans whose processes can ultimately help even our most fragile contributors, our honeybees.

It is Wild Ophelia's mission to educate this new generation of chocolate explorers who want more local, better food options. Wild Ophelia believes this new type of chocolate with American roots should be accessible to all and provides the opportunity for everyone to enjoy good ol' American flavors in a different way.
