Join us on a trip to Bruno's cacao plantation in Costa Rica

As we experienced Bruno's passion and its fruits at first hand, we knew: this is the right place.

We immediately felt the vibrant energy on his farm. Contrary to our expectations, we had spent months searching for organically grown cocoa in Costa Rica that met our quality standards. We were sobered to realise that there is hardly any organic cocoa cultivation in the whole country. But our longing did not go unanswered. When we experienced Bruno's passion and his fruit up close, we knew that this was the right place for us. We immediately felt the vibrant energy on his farm - a former Indian cemetery. 

The roots of the cocoa plants literally spring from years of indigenous knowledge about the miracle bean. Even back then, the indigenous BriBris tribe, whose energy is harboured here in the earth, had a special relationship with cocoa. How wonderful that cocoa now thrives right here and can pass on this cultural treasure of wisdom in its fruits. We don't want you or ourselves to miss out on this opportunity!

His energetic connection to the ancient crop of cocoa was a very special one from the very beginning

Instead of pursuing the original idea of building an autonomous jungle condominium, Bruno allowed himself to be guided by his love of cacao as long as 30 years ago. As a result, some 36,000 cacao plants now thrive on his 70ha of land. In addition to cacao, he also sowed the seeds for numerous other plants in the beginning, but his energetic connection to the ancient useful plant of cacao was a very special one from the very beginning. The fact that Bruno's heart beats completely for cacao escapes no one when he loses a thought or a word about it; a sparkling glow shines from his eyes.

In addition to the cultivation of cacao, Bruno ensures the continued existence of many other plants.

By growing and trading cocoa, Bruno contributes to the creation of local jobs and social security for the workers. Jobs are generally rare in the south of Costa Rica and the few jobs offered as day labourers offer no protection in terms of insurance. In addition to the cultivation of cocoa, Bruno also ensures the survival of many other plants. Some of them are threatened with extinction, while others are preserved to maintain a closed ecosystem. For example, care is taken on the farm to ensure that there are enough plants to provide food for pollinating insects and those that combat pests. This holistic way of thinking and acting characterises Bruno's entire cocoa cultivation. Plant protection and fertilisers are produced exclusively from organic materials that are primarily found on the estate.

In order to maintain good soil quality and its richness in micronutrients, the soil is always covered with green cuttings and other wood material. But it is not only in ecological terms that Bruno's thoughts and actions are characterised by a symbiotic overall understanding. He also sees the team as a closed organism in which every person and their function are regarded as equally important. Constant plant care, maintaining their maximum health and focussing on the strengthening and resilience of the cocoa plants - these are Bruno's keys to success for healthy crops and a sustainably commendable yield.

Bruno's Pure Vida Cacao is subject to high, consistent requirements and controls for organic certification

In theory, Costa Rica offers the best conditions for the development of truly holistic, sustainable cocoa cultivation. Not only is the soil here considered to be one of the most fertile in the world, nowhere else in the world is the understanding of organic cultivation taken as seriously as here.

The entire cultivation and production of Bruno's cocoa is subject to strict, consistent requirements and controls for organic certification. His farm is also an example of good practice, where the social infrastructure is also strengthened. In addition, the entire production process is characterised by careful and loving manual work. Warm-heartedness & passion - this gives the fine flavour cocoa its very special aroma. We look forward to working with Bruno & his team. Even more so if you become a part of it.
