Care to participate in a HANDS ON Cacao Harvest Party? We occasionally hold outdoor Cacao Harvest Events -Approximately once a month (dates change due to the fruit ripeness). Harvest events are our version of an Italian “wine stomping” party and it is all about a communal farm experience. After the cacao is opened, scooped and extracted, we taste some freshly-extracted cacao juice, provide a simple vegetarian farm-made lunch for participants, and there is the opportunity to walk around the cacao fields and botanic garden. All participants will also be gifted some of our estate-grown and processed Hamakua Chocolate and our Cacao Husk Tea. Currently the party happens the last Sunday of the month, but that can change due to fruit ripeness. We often know only only a week before the harvest happens, so we just need to be fluid with Mother Nature! Summer is the LOW season for cacao, and usually the trees take a break from harvesting as do we. Events start at 10am and finish around 1 or 2pm depending on harvest. HARVEST PARTY EXPERIENCE Price is $79 per person.
Please let us know if you have any food allergies.
