The Grower:

The Finca Frida project comprises several hundred hectares of crops, mainly mango, timber trees, and almost 15 hectares of cacao. 

The origin is a single-estate cacao, as well as a single-variety cacao. It’s a white Heirloom Mexican Criollo cacao that has been rescued and promoted by the Cacao and Agronomy Research Center in Soconusco, Chiapas.

Finca Frida takes part in the “Program for People in Social and Natural Emergency on the Southern Border”, which provides employment opportunities for thousands of migrants in vulnerable situations, by hiring on their farm and paying them a salary that is enough to support themselves and, in some cases, to send money to the families they left behind.
