La Sierra is a cacao journey driven by the origin
At La Sierra we bring together the cacao forest and producers from La Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, Colombia, with cacao and chocolate buyers, knowledgeable chocolatiers, passionate beginners and curious minds working in innovation, research and development
Forest and producers
We work with Asociación Guardabosques de la Sierra, in the implementation of a Sustainable Production System™ around cacao, the forest, social capital, high quality beans and fine chocolate.
We integrate the ecosystems and research as part of our productive unit.
We count on an active community committed to look after the forests and river banks.
We keep our governance bodies active and accountable.
Cacao & Chocolate
We are a single estate farm and members and associates of Guardabosques de la Sierra, Sierra Nevada origin.
We are very fond of the taste of our cacaos. Our local varieties at Sierra Nevada are interesting and complex in flavour as well as our history.
Contact us if you would like a sample of beans.
We are driven by the origin.
Expeditions
La Sierra is always on the lookout for groups or individuals interested in an in-farm cacao training experience.
