The Dominican Republic, Exploring Cacao Harvesting

JUNE 2019

DOMINICAN REPUBLIC
San Francisco del Macoris, Zorzal Cacoa Farm, Cabarete

With my daughter Sarah, and friends from Moka Origins

This journey tickled my tastebuds and touched my soul. We got intimate with cacao beans and trees and ate chocolate from freshly harvested cacao pods. We worked and bunked on a cacao farm where we shared stories and learned from passionate farmers. We hiked, laughed, connected with the essence of Dominican Culture and landscape. At the peak of the week, we celebrated Sarah's 22nd birthday which she dubbed her "best birthday ever!”

Next up, immersing in Mexican coffee farming community in May 2020!
