Bahia, Brazil β’ Three Generations of Cacao Wisdom
Three generations of cacao wisdom. Oscar's grandfather planted trees 80 years ago that are still producing todayβa testament to regenerative farming that spans generations. His 100-year-old farm features 80-year-old Criolla trees yielding 900-1000kg/hectare, proving that well-tended native varieties can thrive for over a century.
This legacy of care and commitment to regenerative practices has created a farm that not only produces exceptional fine-flavored cacao but also serves as a model for sustainable agriculture. The trees planted by Oscar's grandfather continue to bear fruit, demonstrating the longevity and productivity of native cacao varieties when grown through regenerative agroforestry practices that preserve biodiversity.
Oscar's farm represents the intersection of tradition and innovation, where multi-generational knowledge meets modern regenerative techniques. Each harvest tells a story of patience, care, and respect for the land that has sustained this family for a century.
