| Dream Chocolate evolved from Salmon River Foods, the spawn of a trip on the Middle Fork of the Salmon River. Kay Johnson was burned out by thirty years in the food service industry and decided to sell his business and begin anew. Quite by accident he received a call asking if his new company Salmon River Foods would consider selling chocolate bars. Kay's son Rob was employed by a German company and was frequently flying to Europe and returning with wonderful chocolate as family gifts. Kay wondered how we could produce European style chocolate (no waxes or preservatives) in the US. He found a US supplier of high quality chocolate and with his son's help found a supplier in Germany who would ship to the US. Kay purchased a chocolate factory and began production in April 2002. |
