RESPONSIBLE CACAO
WHAT IS RESCUE CACAO?
Rescue cacao represents a new way forward on an ancient food.
Cacao is an amazing plant that provides a deeper connection with Mother Earth.
Cacao produced in a way that causes suffering lessens that connection.
ANCIENT CACAO TRADITIONS
The cacao is farm to table, cultivated surrounded by native jungle the way it has been done for thousands of years.
Hand-picked, blessed in ceremony with reverence, and supported with ancestral knowledge, education, and ancient tools for you to better connect.
UPLIFTING CACAO FARMERS AND FAMILIES
After years of violence from terrorists and drug traffickers in the cacao-growing region of Peru due to the cocaine industry, these farmers now have an opportunity to grow artisanal cacao instead of being lured into the illegal drug trade for money.
Our farmer also gets substantially higher profits by being able to sell their cacao direct without brokers or intermediaries taking their cuts.
CACAO THAT PROTECTS THE RAINFOREST
Our cacao is agroforestry ’shade-grown’ under the shadow of many native fruits, with an organic canopy protecting crops like banana and papaya.
Cacao naturally loves to grow under a forest canopy, so there is less stress on the tree, it promotes biodiversity, improves soil fertility, and sequesters 30% more carbon than non-shade grown cacao.
It also saves the Amazon from deforestation.
