Our Story
The buoy catches your eye. The chocolate brings you back.
Buoy Pops is a women-owned and operated Maine company built around a simple idea: a memorable Maine gift should taste every bit as exceptional as it looks.
Rooted in Maine. Made for giving.
Buoy Pops grew from our family's connection to Maine's coast, Peter's sailing background, and years spent among the working harbors where brightly painted lobster buoys are part of everyday life.
Anne brought her French cooking experience and a belief that a memorable gift should be every bit as good to eat as it is distinctive to give. She carefully selected premium Belgian chocolate for its exceptional taste, texture, and quality, then developed each flavor in small batches to complement—not overpower—the chocolate itself.
Today, Buoy Pops is women-owned and operated, and every pop is handcrafted at our home in Harpswell, Maine. The buoy shape and coastal colors reflect where we live. The chocolate is what brings people back.
Our chocolate is made with traceable cocoa beans, and our supplier supports the Cocoa Horizons Foundation and its work with cocoa-growing communities.
