Cocoa Bean & Butter Chocolate Co.

Cocoa Bean & Butter Chocolate Co. has been in business since 2017. With the Tennessee Department of Agriculture’s change in domestic kitchen laws, they were busy with the construction of a commercial kitchen from 2018-2020 and received approval of the facility in November 2020.

Cocoa Bean & Butter is truly a small-batch family business. Currently, three generations of their family work together to produce yummy treats for the community to enjoy.

In the near future, they hope to expand their product line into hand-dipped truffles and offer some healthy alternatives for customers looking to avoid sugar. Cocoa Bean & Butter stands behind all of their products with a 100% satisfaction guarantee. They want all their customers to love and enjoy their products - or they’ll do what it takes to make it right.

“Our family has been in business for many years. My mother owned and operated Choo Choo’s Chocolate in Oxford, MI, for 30 years. We are seeking to continue the family tradition of making delicious artisan chocolates and buttery baked goods. Buying local is a great way to help support our local economy and to build relationships with the people of our community.” -Joel Simkus, owner/operator
