The Journey to Territorio de Origen: Life Inside Our Living Cacao Sanctuary

Have you ever wondered where the magic in your ceremonial cacao comes from? It's more than just a farm; it’s a living, breathing sanctuary where every bean tells a story of harmony, care, and a shared legacy. Welcome to Territorio de Origen, the heart of Origen Cacao. This lush nature reserve is our home, and we’re the proud guardians of the forest, the water, and of course, the incredible cacao that thrives here.

Here, we don’t just grow a product—we cultivate a community. Through every sip of our cacao, we’re sharing a piece of our love and a taste of our life with you.


Our Cacao: A Symbol of Hope and New Beginnings

There's a special kind of magic in the cacao from our very own land, the Territorio de Origen Nature Reserve. This 300-acre paradise is full of rushing rivers, curious monkeys, and wild parrots that greet us every morning. This is not just a farm; it’s a place of new beginnings and hope for the future. For us, this cacao is a powerful symbol of love.

We are the world's only dedicated farm for ceremonial cacao. As a medicine community, we infuse this entire reserve with our spiritual connection, and the spirit of Cacao is ever-present. It guides us as we care for the land, cacao is a way of life.


A Community of Care, from Tree to Cup

Our journey with cacao is truly a labor of love, from the very beginning. As a community, we work together to care for the 5,000 cacao trees on our land. We harvest and ferment the beans with meticulous care, and we gently transform them in our factory, right here on the reserve.

To protect this sacred space, we grow everything organically. We follow the ancient wisdom of agroforestry, ensuring our farm works in perfect harmony with the natural ecosystem. Our methods are a true collaboration with nature, blessed by Mamos and Elders to maintain the balance of all life here.

Beyond our cacao, we also have coffee, bananas, pineapples and exotic fruit and nut trees and are actively planting more food to build a sustainable future. We are building homes and community spaces, with the hope that you will visit us one day. We want to welcome you to this amazing planet we call home, so that together we can work on protecting more of it.

When you enjoy Origen Cacao, we hope you can feel the love and connection we’ve poured into it. We hope you will visit us one day and experience the sanctuary for yourself.

Welcome to Territorio de Origen, our lush Andean reserve where ancient traditions meet new beginnings. We’re not just a farm; we’re a living, breathing community, a sanctuary where cacao, nature, and people thrive in harmony. Here, the land isn't just a resource—it's our home. We are the guardians of the forest and the water, and we are guided by a shared legacy of care, respect, and love.

When you drink our cacao, we hope you can feel the love and connection we pour into every step. We hope it reminds you that a better world is possible, and that it is already flourishing here. We can't wait to share it with you.
