Farm tour · Bean-to-bar
Among the first to grow, hand-pick, sun-dry, and process 100% Hawaiian cacao on a single Kona property, they keep the entire chain on-site and production intentionally small. Tours walk the plantation and factory floor together and close with a tasting.

It's at 78-6772 Makenawai St in Kailua-Kona on the Big Island, set on a working cacao plantation.
The tour is an educational walk through the cacao plantation and factory, covering hand-picking, processing, and bean-to-bar production, and ends with a chocolate tasting.
Tours are small and run on a set schedule, so reserving ahead is recommended. Confirm current tour times and booking on their website.
Yes. The factory uses 100% Hawaiian-grown beans from their own Kona plantation, with every step from picking to processing happening on the same land.
Offerings include milk chocolate, dark chocolate, a criollo dark chocolate, and roasted cacao nibs, all made in small batches on site.
It's a self-contained, single-estate operation where the cacao is grown, fermented, roasted, and made into chocolate all on one Kona property.
