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.

Afro Child Art
Afro Child is a Ghanaian born, New York based artist creating paintings that translate the voices in her head into perceivable psyches. Born and raised in Ghana, her intricate culture has always been imperative to who she is and this is evident in her use of abstracted Ghanaian symbolism. With acrylic and a contemporary approach, she renders her past mental health issues and the changing scenes of life into visual capsules. Afro Child's work forces the viewer to look within their souls and be illogically intuitive. Her imagery stems from reflections of her unconscious mind creating a mystery that can only be uncovered at the convergence of the mind and soul.

Alkeme Atelier
Alkeme Atelier is inspired by the ancient science of Alchemy and the process of transforming and combining the four elements (earth, water, fire and air). This idea of breaking down an rebuilding materials led us to produce our bags with sustainable, plant-based textiles. Utilizing material such as Pinatex not only helps us to support the farming communities, but also reduces the amount of natural resources needed to manufacture our products. Along with the exterior of our bags, we also construct the interior of our bags with an eco-friendly textile. Tons of plastic is discarded every year, polluting lands, rivers, oceans, coasts and beaches. We take this waste and transform it into a brand new material, a fabric used as the linings of our handbags. We hope taking these conscious steps will aid in the mission to protect the planet and cultivate an ethical and sustainable fashion. We are constantly innovating for sustainable materials.
