SUSTAINABLE COCOA FARMING
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.
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.
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.
