Descrição
Greetings from our lush 22-acre farm in Dakshina Kannada! We invite passionate individuals to join us in exploring the world of organic cacao cultivation and chocolate making.
After a fulfilling corporate career in Bangalore, I followed my passion to reconnect with the land and create something truly sustainable. Today, we produce bean-to-bar chocolate while practicing regenerative farming and hosting volunteers who want to learn and contribute.
We also share our farm with five friendly dogs (Munchi, Robin, Puli, and Kura), a cow (Babu), a bull (Raja), and a cat (Pilli and her kittens) 🐶🐂🐱.
🌿 What’s Happening Right Now? Cocoa Season! 🌿
It's cocoa season, which means most of the work will be focused on cacao harvesting, fermentation, drying, and processing. This is an exciting time to join us and learn firsthand how cacao transforms into high-quality chocolate!
🛠️ What You’ll Do (Farm Activities)
At our farm, you’ll experience the magic of sustainable agriculture and chocolate production. Your tasks may include:
✅ Fermenting, drying, and sorting beans to prepare them for chocolate making.
✅ Processing cacao into bean-to-bar chocolate and learning the craft.
✅ Helping with general farm work like growing vegetables and maintaining the land.
🌊 Beyond the Farm – Adventure & Culture
We make sure volunteers enjoy a well-rounded experience, including:
🏞 Trekking adventures through the beautiful Western Ghats.
🏄♂️ Weekend surfing at nearby beaches.
🎭 Cultural experiences – Witness traditional folk dances and local festivals.
🚗 Sightseeing trips – Explore the region’s scenic beauty and heritage.

💪 Help Needed: Join Our Farm Projects!
We’re looking for enthusiastic volunteers who are passionate about cacao farming, sustainable agriculture, and hands-on projects.
🔧 Special Skills Needed!
If you have experience in welding, carpentry, website development, product design, or packaging, we’d love your help! We are constantly working on improving the farm’s infrastructure, branding, and digital presence. Your expertise in these areas will be greatly appreciated.
🌱 Regular Farm Activities
🔹 Cacao Harvesting & Processing
The cacao plantation is about 15-20 minutes away by car, at a friend’s farm. There, you’ll help harvest the cacao pods, extract the beans, and transport them to our farm for fermentation and drying.
🔹 Fermentation & Drying
Fermentation takes 7-10 days depending on moisture levels. Volunteers will check if the beans are ready by cutting a few open to examine the color.
Once fermented, beans need to be washed and moved to the drying room.
Drying takes about 7 days (longer during the monsoon). Beans must be turned daily to ensure even drying.
🔹 Bean-to-Bar Chocolate Making 🍫
Once dried, beans are usually sent to a chocolatiers, but we always keep some for in-house chocolate making!
You’ll get hands-on experience in roasting, winnowing, grinding, and tempering the beans into chocolate.
We make 100%, 80%, and 55% chocolate, often using palm sugar as a sweetener.
🔹 Planting New Cocoa Trees
Right now, most of our cacao trees are on our friend's farm, but we’ve started planting our own cacao orchard.
Since cacao trees take 5 years to mature and another 3 years to produce high-quality beans, we are investing in our future farm production.
You’ll help with digging holes, planting trees, and caring for the young saplings. This is physical work, so be prepared to get your hands dirty!
🔹 Growing Our Own Food
Besides cacao, we also grow our own vegetables and fruits.
Volunteers help with planting, watering, composting, and general garden maintenance.
⏳ Work Schedule & Expectations
We work 5 days a week, with 3 shifts 5 hours in total. With 2 days off.
Since fermentation is an ongoing process, some tasks may need to be done on Saturdays and Sundays. If weekend work is required, it will be compensated with holiday on a weekday.

I had an amazing time volunteering at Mayoor’s cacao farm! Mayoor is one of those people you can have deep, insightful conversations with, and we had plenty of those. Plus, I got an inside look at the chocolate-making process – and yes, there was always dark chocolate on hand to snack on. Perks of a cacao farm, right? 😆

It was great having Sarah And Dani at the farm. They helped us de-husk cacao beans.
We had allot of interesting conversations, shared food together. They are very hard working and eager to learn about the farm. You'll are welcome to the farm again if your in India again.
Safe travels!!

Megan stayed for about a week at the farm. It was great fun having her as the first volunteer.
She is very eager to help out. Always interested in the local culture, cuisine's, way of life. Hope to see you someday soon. It would be our pleasure to have you at the farm again.
