Not since chocolate was the exalted privilege of Mayan emperors has such fine cacao been sought out with such fanaticism. The modern craft of turning cacao into chocolate has also reached new heights of technical skill and creative integrity. The result today is chocolate of unprecedented quality. In just the last ten years we have entered a new Golden Age of Chocolate. It has become an act of revelation. Today's bean-to-bar makers possess technical mastery and creative integrity that would stagger the ancient chocolatiers of Mesoamerica.
Join the Chocolate Club and we'll send you masterpieces crafted by the world's most accomplished chocolate makers. Amedei in Tuscany, their cacao sourced from single estates like pilgrims seeking holy ground. Bonnat in Voiron, France, roasting beans in the same copper machines for generations. Claudio Corallo, farming his own cacao on the volcanic soils of São Tomé. Cloudforest, Dick Taylor, Fruition, Pralus, Soma, Solstice, Woodblock, Rozsavolgyi—each a universe unto itself.
Your bar collection grows. Your palate deepens. Your club membership makes it sustainable. This is how obsessions are properly fueled. Hold on. It's going to be a wild ride.
What's in the box?
Every month, we strive to create a box of the world's finest chocolate to find you. Your parcel arrives beautifully packed in tissue paper and twine, a small ceremony of anticipation: three or four curated selections for the explorer or connoisseur who demands depth, flavor, exclusivity, story. Each box includes tasting cards, maker stories, origin notes, and inspired pairing suggestions. This is your invitation to collect the world's greatest, most unique, most scarce chocolate bars. Shipping and handling included.
Hidden Treasure in Every Box
Chocolate Club members receive exclusive, limited-batch bars from our library. Sometimes you'll be the first to taste them. Sometimes you'll be the only one! These are the bars that arrive at our shop in quantities of twelve, or thirty, or fifty. Blink and they're gone. But not for you.
Member's Only Privileges
100 membership slots are available every year. This isn't manufactured scarcity—it's the reality of working with craft makers whose annual production wouldn't fill a pallet, let alone a shipping container. When those hundred slots are filled, they're filled (If the Clubs are in stock, there's still space!). The 100-member cap enables access to micro-batch releases that simply don't exist in larger quantities.
As a bonus, members now receive 10% off all chocolate purchases at The Meadow, in-shop and online. Use your membership number to redeem.

Who Needs This Club?
The better question: Who doesn't? Lovers of all varieties. The romantic kind, certainly. But also lovers of craft, of beauty, of things made with fanatical attention and zero compromise. The humans you treasure. Family. Friends. That colleague who actually gets it. Your contractor who showed up on time (twice!). Teachers, neighbors, babysitters, and anyone whose existence makes your world more bearable. Anyone seeking the extraordinary in the everyday. Because life is too short for mediocre chocolate. And now that you know what's possible, there's no going back.
