CACAO ORCHARD
One of the more revolutionary visions of Beacon Farms is to grow chocolate trees in the Cayman Islands!
Cacao trees are most productive under very specific conditions so this will take some ingenuity, but if we can manage it, we would love to grow our own trees and process the cacao beans in our Agricultural Processing Unit to make the first Caymanian chocolate!
ONE DAY WE HOPE TO SEND EVERY TOURIST HOME
WITH A BAR OF CAYMANIAN CHOCOLATE
If we are successful in growing cacao trees and can produce enough cacao pods, the actual processing of the cacao bean will also be a challenge.
This is just the seed of an idea so we are open to any suggestions or assistance we can get. Anyone with knowledge of cocoa propagation and management can contact us at info@beaconfarmscayman.org
Our vision is that, one day, every tourist might return home with a piece of Beacon Farms Caymanian Chocolate.
