Cacao update! Nearly all the recently planted trees are showing new growth! 🌱 After only two weeks in the ground, this is a very positive indicator that they are adjusting well to the environment 🙌🏼💚🍫

Yesterday was a big day! Thanks to the dedication and hard work of Mike, Fritz, and a team of volunteers 👏🏼, we finished planting all 126 Santa Barbara born cacao seedlings in the ground, bringing our total to 200 cacao trees. This represents the culmination of many months of labor— harvesting & germinating the seeds from the pod, preparing the soil by digging out the buried concrete and clay pipes, amending the soil, building gopher cages… the list goes on! It was a push to get the seedlings in the ground in time for them to establish roots before the nights cool down and the days get shorter, but we did it! 🙌🏼🌱💚🍫

What it takes to plant cacao trees at the greenhouse: for each 150 ft long planting row, we have to first pull all of the weeds. Then, we remove the clay pipes that are buried in each row (Photo 2). We then redistribute soil so that the beds are leveled (Photo 3 & 4). Because this greenhouse was abandoned, weeds sprout up immediately (Photo 5). We have started putting mulch down (Photo 1) in an effort to keep those weeds under control as well as help the soil retain moisture. It takes a lot of time, sweat and effort to ready the space for the cacao trees (on top of everything that goes into growing the cacao trees from seed), but having a cacao forest in Santa Barbara is a dream come true for 24 BB 😅💪🏼🪏🌱💚🍫
As we grow, help from volunteers has been instrumental in establishing these trees! If you’re interested in supporting this project please reach out 🙂

Success!! Eight naturally pollinated flowers across three different trees in the greenhouse! 🙌🏼 These are our first naturally pollinated cacao flowers in California— no paintbrushes, no hand pollination, just nature doing what it does best. Holding our breath to see if these fully ripen 🤞🏼 Stay tuned!
