Sustainability and Certifications

Our cacao comes from non-certified organic farms. We personally know each of the farmers and their farms and conduct several monitoring visits per year to ensure no synthetic or chemical inputs are used.

To'ak has long gone well beyond Fair Trade, paying up to 700% above the local market price for wet cacao. While cacao prices are always fluctuating, To'ak continues to pay the true cost of cacao.

Your purchase supports our work in regenerative agriculture and heirloom cacao conservation. Cacao sourced from Piedra de Plata is certified Heirloom Cacao by Heirloom Cacao Preservation Fund.
