Our Cacao

Our single origin, organic, above fair trade cacao is sourced directly from small family farms along the Ucayali River in the heart of the Peruvian Amazon. It is grown using agroforestry, the most sustainable growing methods for the earth and cacao plants. 

Agroforestry is a biodiverse ecosystem of varied plant and wildlife species coexisting together, creating richer soil, healthier fauna, and a more balanced, vibrant environment for all living things. It's essentially how nature intended for things to grow and live - together. Our cacao is not grown in a monoculture, but rather in a richly complex habitat that supports soil fertility and health, carbon sequestration, bioremediation, and increased crop stability, while reducing global warming and deforestation. Nature knows what she's doing, and following her lead results in a more vibrant, healthy planet - for all living things. 

The cacao plants are grown using integrated organic farming techniques aligned with the rhythm of nature and the holistic health of the ecosystem to create the highest quality cacao beans available. The cacao is grown and harvested with fully ethical practices and above fair trade standards.

We're extremely proud that our cacao is creating positive change for the growers, the cacao, and the earth - but it should be this way for all cacao. I'm not sure when everything got so out of balance, but let's continue to support companies with a mission to bring earth back to her true nature.
