However, going forward we will need to source from a wide variety of farms, not just shade grown. We will need to do this in order to scale and stay competitive on price. Additionally, food waste is an issue for all cacao farms in Ecuador, and some of the largest are open field farms. However, regardless of the method of planting, we plan to partner with farms that share our concerns abo...

Hello! If I invest the minimum of $250 for example, what is the return on investment? Will I become a shareholder for life? What is the return? Thank you for your time!

Hi William! Ultimately, your return on investment will depend on the financial performance of the company over time. This is difficult to predict, but our goal is to significantly increase the value of your shares over time. If you invest you will be a shareholder for as long as you want to own your shares. There is no time limit!
