History
It was started by planting 100 cocoa trees in Pahoa, Puna District and expanded across eastern Big Island as we planted orchards for other farmers. We made our own chocolate in Hilo and then expanded to Kona in 2018 after the massive Fissure 8 lava eruption had us seek less explosive terrain.
