Resting in the magnificent mountains and valleys of the Cordillera Septentrional is the first-ever cacao-producing conservation reserve in the Dominican Republic. The bustling farms work in perfect harmony with the 1000+ acre private habitat, creating the region’s finest cacao and giving the rare migratory songbirds that share the trees something sweet to sing about.

Our local partner, Cacao del Bosque, works together with cacao farmers to implement organic farming principles and supports the reserve's ongoing conservation efforts of the Bicknell's Trush and other endemic bird species. Through continuous education on best practices, they are enhancing production, providing economic support to the area, and reinforcing the biodiversity of this valuable ecosystem.
