Permaculture Farm
One of the most rewarding experiences at La Loma is touring the jungle farm, learning about the permaculture process, and tasting the wide variety of tropical fruits we grow here. It is educational as it is inspiring as it is delicious.
We strive to grow and produce the majority of the ingredients for our meals directly on site, and you'll taste the difference.

Below is the main table at La Loma, beautifully set with fresh picks from the farm.
Cacao and Chocolate Processing
Walk amidst thouÂsands of chocolÂate (cacao) trees as you learn about this susÂtainÂable tropÂical forest crop, natÂive to the AmerÂicas, which thrives under the jungle canÂopy in comÂpost-rich soil entirely free of pestiÂcides and ferÂtilÂizers. It’s a favored food of White-faced capuchin and Western Night MonÂkeys who romp through the groves feastÂing on the pods. UnsurÂprisÂingly, chocolÂate works its way into many of our dishes, too.
​
From the vibrantly colÂoured pods to the fraÂgrant fresh beans that are ferÂmenÂted, dried and roasÂted, you’ll be able to see up close the proÂcess of proÂduÂcing 100% pure chocolate.
