About
Wildflower Chocolate is a craft chocolate and confectionery kitchen in Minnesota's beautiful Brainerd Lakes Area.
Founder, Kate, transitioned into a culinary career embracing the seasons, farms and gardens after her eldest was born. Chocolate truffles and home made confections were a core part of Kate's holiday traditions for years before taking the jump into starting a cottage foods business in 2016. Now, in 2026, having built and grown through commercial kitchens, Wildflower Chocolate is part of so many families and traditions "with love from Minnesota" and shipping across the United States.

A note from our Founder:
Consistency, genuine relationships and care. Since starting Wildflower Chocolate in 2016 and meeting marvelous people along this journey I have narrowed my business values into these core pillars. Many female entrepreneurs have a similar story: balancing kids, juggling commitments, and building a business at a pace that supports a family-centric lifestyle. Every year I feel like we are still in the beginning of the dream for what Wildflower Chocolate is becoming.
Thank you for being here!
