We propagated our own cacao seedlings, planted our first trees in 2009, and now farm 14 acres of cacao by hand on the North Shore of O‘ahu. We harvest the fruit, use wild fermentations, and dry the beans, up on the farm. We then hand craft small batches of chocolate bars at our solar-powered factory in Honolulu.

From 2009 to 2014 we were exclusively a farming operation. It takes roughly 5 years before the trees begin to produce cacao pods and in order to make ferments optimal you need to have enough seed harvested together, so we took a plunge into the deep end with a decade-long planting regime that now includes 14 acres. Straddling the 21st parallel, our farm is one of the northern-most plantations in the world.
