2014 — The beginning
How we began
Juan and Natalia visited Hernán’s farm — Juan’s father — in San Bernardo, Tolima. The farm La Marillina had stood abandoned for eight years. They lived the first cacao harvest together. That is when Juan Choconat began.
The aim
Why we exist
We believe the Colombian countryside is prosperous. We prove it every day — buying direct from the grower, paying above the market, and joining their story to the person who values the work.
