Cacao Project
When we started working on our coffee project years ago (Cracked Bean Coffee Co.) We came across several Cacao farmers from the same region and a very good friend whom we met in Guatemala introduced us to the Cacao world and a farmer in Honduras. We were very curious about Cacao and all we knew was chocolate and always enjoyed good chocolate but did not know anything about it before, so we started to learn and get familiar with Cacao and know more about it and how it is grown. We came to know several interesting things about cacao throughout our learning journey. More importantly it needs more care and an unpolluted environment than any other plant on this planet. Real Cacao is so fragile it cannot be controlled as per industry or grown as desired. It needs to be accepted how nature gives us and so it was called food of gods (theo-borma). Cacao naturally grows as healthy as it can based on the surrounding environment.
Most of the Cacao we work with is wild grown in the jungles of Amazon and from small farmers in central and South America.
Along the journey we also came across several things that are very similar to Coffee, we wanted to extend our support to cacao farmers by promoting ethical trade and support with education and equipment that they need to become an individual tree to bar makers. We started this project a few years ago working with our first farmer and later on a very good friend from Honduras by promoting his chocolate bars and cacao here in the states.
By working with these farmers we have the ability to work with one of the finest Cacao and will be able to showcase the quality and purity to our customers.
