Both Kristen and Tiffany come from culinary backgrounds and founded Choco Estates, named for the Choco Andino region of Ecuador where their farms can be found - as a way to provide exceptional cacao to hard working chocolate artisans around the world. With on the ground access to not only their own farms, but neighbouring farms growing Nacional cacao it was inevitable that both of these entreprenerial women would create a framework to provide good, well paying jobs for the hard working people in the community neighbouring the farms, as well as produce an un-matched offering of cacao products while regenerating the land they steward.
