Our company philosophy is also noticeable in our organic cacao project at all times. The aim is not only to produce a food product, but at the same time to achieve as much positive effect as possible. Here too, the promotion of biodiversity is a central aspect of a sustainable concept. Equally important to us is to show the local population the advantages and importance of responsible production.

Growing cacao was never really our intention. But chance would have it that on our first piece of land, the Finca Armadillo, over 5 hectares of fine flavoured cacao had already been cultivated many years before. The enthusiasm for this wonderful fruit motivated us to plant another 10 hectares of fine flavoured cacao next to the still existing secondary forest, which is why we now actively cultivate 15 hectares of organic cacao.

It grows in a mixed culture with many other fruits and trees. In addition to several native species of wood and guadua bamboo, among our cacao you will find numerous tangerine and orange trees, various varieties of bananas, papaya, tagua, coffee, passion fruit, guaba (inga), guanábana (spiky annone), guayaba (guava), avocado and much more. The challenges in organic cultivation are great, but we are taking this path out of conviction. Our next goal is organic certification.
