The Tetteh Quarshie Cocoa Farm is the first cocoa farm in Ghana planted by Tetteh Quarshie in 1870, located at Akuapim Mampong. Guests would be taken through the process of cocoa plantation from planting to harvesting then through the fermentation process which gives farmers raw cocoa beans that are exported in their raw state or sold to manufacturing companies for processing. Two of the original trees planted by Tetteh Quarshie himself still remain in the farm, bearing fruits. Ghana is known to be the leader in the production of quality Cocoa and the second in quantity after Ivory Coast.
