During our time together we will visit the cacao tree and learn about their history, culture and medicinal uses. Then we’ll return to our chocolate making facility where we will learn about fermentation and the magical processes of turning a cacao seed into a chocolate bar. We will make a bar from beans from our farm, covering every part of the process in exactly the way we make chocolate everyday. You’ll leave with roasted beans and fine chocolate!
