The Chocolate Farm That’s Changing How Davao Grows Cacao (AgriCoolTours S1EP4)

In this episode of AgriCoolTours, we visit Grand Verde Farm in Calinan, Davao — a cacao haven built on sustainability, intention, and love for the land. Led by second-generation farmer Miss Wit Holganza, Grand Verde tells a story of transformation: from a chemically farmed land to a thriving, regenerative cacao ecosystem. Alongside engineers, researchers, and partner organizations like RISA and the University of Southeastern Philippines, the farm explores science-driven, climate-smart methods to combat cacao shortages and strengthen the future of chocolate in Mindanao. From hands-on foraging to mindful conversations on permaculture, this isn’t just a farm tour — it’s a journey from soil to soul.
