About the family

Edier, inspired by a whisper from San José del Fragua, was drawn in 2015 to this farm revealed to him by a confidant. His father, a farmer with weathered hands, and his mother, the heart and soul of their home, instilled in him a passion for the land. He chose cocoa for its profitability because it intertwines perfectly with the region and stands resilient in time. With steadfast conviction, Edier has decided to be the guardian of the forests and wildlife.
