About the family
Heidy, with roots in the village of San José del Fragua and her family, left the hustle and embraced a farm they acquired, a corner full of promises. While her father imparted wisdom as a teacher and her mother wove stories as a merchant, Heidy envisioned a mission. She chose cocoa for its ability to rejuvenate soils and its profitability and for a deeper purpose: to reforest and protect forests and their wildlife.
