#ChocolateyJourney

is a commitment to cacao development and sustainability.

Alpha Farm

Alpha Farm is our first cacao farm with an area of 12+ hectares located at Barangay Tambulan in Tayasan, Negros Oriental

In here, we integrated two crops to become shadings of our cacao seedlings: coconut and cassava. So far, cassava shrubs prove to be a healthy choice to inter-crop with our cacao for they not only protect the seedlings from borers, but they also help condition the soil.

Optimus Farm

Optimus Farm is our second cacao farm with an area of 16.9 hectares located at Barangay Numnum in Tayasan, Negros Oriental

The whole farm has been completely planted with cacao seedlings within barely 2 months of planting. Most of the seedlings were able to adapt quickly to their environment, due to the soil fertility, good source of water, well-shaded by the coconut trees, and of course, due to the good agricultural practices of the management and farmers.

Bumblebee Farm

This farm was acquired late 2017, and has been planted with cacao in that same year. It's a small size at about 4.5 hectares, but it's adjacent to our Optimus Farm.

It has similar characteristics to Optimus in terms of soil components and weather. It's also hilly and full of coconut trees. There's a creek in between this and Optimus.

It's just beside Optimus, thus the name Bumblebee.

Wakanda Farm

This farm was acquired in February 2018. Preliminary works have been done to plant cacao trees within tihs year.

It's at 6.60 hectares, hilly terrain and has over-looking view of the rice fields of Barangay Banban. This brings our total farm area to 40 hectares. We were able to hit our target expansion size as planned for year 2018.

This is located on top of the mountain and beside the DENR-protected timberland. It's the perfect environment for cacao trees.

Facts & Projections

  • 40 Hectares

    Fertile land

    All of our farms have a total size of 40 hectares, all sloppy terrain and has access to a water source.

  • 22,000+

    Cacao trees

    We have been planting since July of 2016. There are currently almost 2 year-old trees now. We give them more time and soon they will become sturdy trees.

  • 30 Farmers

    Currently, we employ a total of 30 farmers, 3 of whom are our farm caretakers. We regularly get other farmers to help on with the farm activities such as holing, preparation of land, and weeding. We are not only helping these farmers, we are helping their families as well.

  • 770 Metric Tons

    Estimated yield

    When all of our trees are in productive stage, we would be harvesting this total size annually

  • Minimum of 38% profit

    Increasing annually

    When we hit our target tonnage of beans, that translates to at least 38% of profit

It all starts with these farms

Our adventure is still expanding and growing, as we unfold each of the following future developments...

Continuous expansion

As we have to meet our target regular yield in the future, we have to plant more cacao trees now.

Advance nursery and training center

When farmers are better skilled and they plant well-nurtured seedlings, we can produce higher grade of cocoa beans.

Community economic programs

To help small cacao farms and provide economic value to our farmers' communities, we will be supporting them through viable programs.

Agri-tourism

Our farms are well-favored by the mother nature. Nature lovers will surely enjoy their visit to our farms especially when we develop it in the future.

Post-harvest facilities and R&D

We are aiming to produce competitive with world-class quality cocoa beans. To do that, we will be investing in facilities and studies.

Chocolate production

The ultimate goal is to produce a world-renowned chocolate brand that the Philippines can be proud of.
