Great knowledge. Family farm. More than just chocolate.
Absolutely amazing. Such an interesting, lovely, friendly and passionate family.
This was an immersion in a local farm. I really enjoyed being able to see a little deeper into the culture of the locals. They were a great family and I felt honored to be a guest to their farm. And the chocolate was great too!
