Refuge Chocolate
Ballymena, Northern Ireland
Hey, we are the Magee Family, proud new owners of Refuge Chocolate in Ballymena.
Refuge Chocolate was created with the belief that chocolate can be a force for good. That spirit continues with us, and we’re excited to build on it with new goals for the future.
We remain committed to being a social enterprise, supporting people and communities through our work. At the same time, we’re expanding Refuge’s vision to include regenerative farming and sustainable agriculture — making sure that what goes into our chocolate is as kind to the planet as it is delicious to drink.
From ethical ingredients to eco-friendly packaging, we’re working to create chocolate that not only tastes good, but also helps shape a better future for people and the environment.
Proudly independent
A few favourite PIECEs
Here at Refuge, we make luxurious ethically-sourced chocolate products from the finest Belgian chocolate.
Not being a tea or coffee drinker, Tara (Founder of Refuge) spent many years sampling various hot chocolate drinks, never quite finding one that hit the taste buds they way it should. After experimenting she came up with a blend that was strong, thick and had so much taste. More like melted chocolate rather than the expensive dish water often served in cafes.
After 7 years Tara decided to move on to new horizons and Refuge was taken over by the Magee Family. Cameron, the new owner, is proud to carry on Tara’s legacy and expand the enterprise to also support sustainable agriculture and regenerative farming.
