Cacao

/

We drove four hours over the 12,000 foot high pass from Urabamba, Peru to the Keyabama area to visit a few small organic Cacao farmers. Bridget and I were on a journey to do a little sourcing of quality organic cacao for MotherFolower, our family business.. Our goal is top quality organic cacao directly from a small family farm business.The pass views were absolutely spectacular. I will display a few images soon, but now I want to tell you how amazing it was to walk the high jungle farm of Mario Antonio Durand Olave and family. I felt touched to tears by nature, walking the paths, tasting the cacao, and a half dozen natural fruits of the farm. They made it clear they love the land and growing quality organic Cacao. Bridget’s great organizing of personal driver and connections made it happen Maybe it was serendipitous, as Bridget said, to hit pay dirt on our first stop. Mario’s daughter-in-law is creator of maywa products which she has had her eye on for awhile now.
