Bixby Chocolate
Bixby Chocolate is Maine's first bean-to-bar chocolate company, crafting award-winning artisan chocolates from a historic waterfront facility in Rockland since 2011. Bixby sources cacao ethically from Haiti, the Dominican Republic, Guatemala, and Belize, transforming these beans into handcrafted chocolate bars, bonbons, caramels, and seasonal collections. The company's commitment to quality means everything produced is organic, non-GMO, and available in gluten-free and vegan options. Operating from a 125-year-old building on Rockland's working waterfront, Bixby's team of 15 artisans uses traditional ball milling and tempering techniques to create chocolates that honor both the cacao farmers and the craft itself.
The company serves customers through multiple channels: a flagship retail store in Rockland, wholesale partnerships with specialty retailers nationwide, e-commerce, and a growing corporate gifting program. Bixby is currently expanding into major retail partnerships including Burlington Stores and pursuing opportunities with national chains.

Blind Barber
A speakeasy tucked behind a working barbershop on East 10th Street, Blind Barber has been part of the East Village community since 2010. What started as a simple idea — a barbershop by day and a cocktail bar by night — has become one of New York City’s most recognizable neighborhood spots.
By day, guests come for expert cuts, classic shaves, and good conversation. At night, the shop transforms into a warm, low-lit bar where locals, artists, and friends gather for cocktails, music, and connection. The space captures everything we love about the East Village: creativity, culture, and a sense of belonging.
