Hummingbird Chocolate Maker (Canada)

Hummingbird Chocolate is an award-winning chocolate maker based in Almonte, Ontario, Canada, founded by Erica and Drew Gilmour. The company began as a small operation in 2011, inspired by the couple's experiences with cocoa during humanitarian work in West Africa.

The company sources its cocoa beans from various regions including the Dominican Republic, Colombia and Haiti, focusing on fair trade practices and sustainability.
