Harper Macaw is a small chocolate producer based in Washington, DC that creates fine-flavor chocolate from raw cocoa beans. The company sources its beans directly from select cacao producers who practice agroforestry and aim to sustain ecological and social conditions in Brazil’s Atlantic and Amazon rainforests. Its name references two endangered Brazilian forest birds, underscoring a focus on protecting the ecosystems that supply its cacao. Chocolate is manufactured at a Washington, DC facility, and a portion of each sale is reinvested to support rainforest restoration near the cacao sources through partnerships with nonprofit groups that secure and designate land as nature reserves in Brazil. The operation is run by a small team. In 2017, Harper Macaw introduced a seasonal Winter’s Cheer bar.
