The Farm Story
Fazenda São Jorge is a regenerative cacao farm in the Atlantic Forest belt of southern Bahia, located at Ramal Nova Vida, Zona Rural, Itajuípe. The farm grows cacao under cabruca—an agroforestry system where cacao thrives beneath a canopy of native trees—helping preserve biodiversity while producing beans with a mild, nutty, gently fruity and floral character.
Fazenda São Jorge is a member of the Coopercabruca cooperative, alongside other Agroverse partner farms in Bahia. Through the cooperative, farmers share knowledge, maintain quality, and connect regenerative harvests to transparent export pathways.
Agroverse shipment AGL6 is sourced from this estate: a 22 kg cabruca lot spanning cacao mass (500g and 40g bars) and eight-ounce kraft pouches of nibs—each tied to the same farm-level story and ledger trail.
For a bean-to-cup walkthrough with this harvest, see making hot chocolate from São Jorge cacao beans on the Agroverse blog (YouTube embed after upload).
