OCTOBER MAKER OF THE MONTH

Puyallup Chocolates

Founded in 2025 by the Puyallup Tribe of Indians, Puyallup Chocolates was born from a vision to support economic sustainability, growth, and self-determination for the Tribe. By acquiring a local candy manufacturer the Tribe was able to save local jobs and transformed a regional staple into a brand that honors its ancestral legacy as a generous and welcoming people. The company was named after the Tribe to celebrate this heritage of abundance, crafting premium treats designed to be shared and savored. Based on tribal land in Fife, Washington, they are proud to employ over a dozen local residents, contributing directly to the growth and stability of our community.

Every purchase of Puyallup Chocolates carries a significant social impact. Their chocolates are crafted using ethically sourced ingredients that support environmental protection and fair labor practices for cocoa farmers worldwide. When you enjoy Puyallup chocolates, you are participating in a tradition of gratitude and community reinvestment.

"We raise our hands in gratitude and welcome you to the Puyallup Chocolates family."

— Puyallup Tribe of Indians
