ABOUT VIOLET GROVE FARMS
Violet Grove Farms is a 10-acre fruit and flower farm in North Saanich that now offers a chocolate experience.
Our orchards hold over 100 apple and pear trees. Also scattered around our farm are fig, sour cherry and apricot trees, rhubarb, and slightly uncontrollable blackberries. Our flower beds, in the orchard and scattered around the farm, have over 40 varieties of flowers and greenery.
We use single origin cacao from a small farm co-op in Ecuador. Our chocolate is 85% or 70% cacao along with a variety of flavour inclusions. Most notable are our farm inclusions that use the produce we grow - including our apples, pears, rhubarb, wild blackberries, apricots, strawberries and lavender. And to make things fun and interesting, we have added about 8 or 10 other flavours to our 70% chocolate, including espresso, maple bacon, tea masala, sea salt caramel, tamarind, pineapple coconut ….
Our chocolate is nut free, gluten free, and most flavours are lactose free. All, but the maple bacon, are vegan friendly.
