Coming January 2025!

What better way to kick off the new year than by tasting your way through chocolate confections, decadent desserts, and savory bites at our A Festival of Chocolate

Experience a weekend filled with all things chocolate that will delight your palate and remind you of the bounty from the tropics. We'll have cacao trees available for purchase for your home garden.

FUN FACT:
Theobroma cacao is also known as "The Chocolate Fruit"

Did you know that chocolate is made from the fruit of the Theobroma cacao tree? Often described as the "Food of the Gods," cacao is a tropical rainforest understory plant. You can see cacao trees growing in our Rainforest; you may even see some fruit ready for harvesting!
