Located 7kms North of Daylesford, Chocolate Mill is in a strawbale building designed and built by ourselves.
We pride ourselves on being "for the Serious Chocoholic". We make fresh chocolate the old fashioned European way, before mass production took over. Our idea was to create something from scratch, the way things used to be made. Right from the construction of the strawbale building to the way we make our chocolates and now run our business.
By using natural ingredients and quality European chocolate- staying away from preservatives and additives. And going back to quality personal customer service with strong product knowledge. This is why we make and sell our product exclusively on site to over 2000 customers per week. We melt down over a tonne of chocolate per month that s imported from Belgium.
Our story...
In 2001, we, Jennifer Gregory and Chris Weippert, moved from Perth into a shed on the property. Here we lived for 28 months, 18 months without power and budgeted for $7 a day for food for the two of us, while building. On November 21st 2003, with $22 in the bank, we opened. Later that year we were featured in Epicure and The Herald Sun
