The Project
From seed to established tree. Every visit adds a chapter to this living story.
Located in vereda Alicante, La Susana, Maceo, Antioquia — a PDET territory in the Magdalena Medio region.
The land was under extensive cattle ranching for decades, degrading the soil. This project is a full ecological and productive transformation.
The goal: produce exceptionally high-quality fine-flavor cacao, in harmony with the native forest.

Juan Cadavid
On weekdays I work in tech as a Product Manager in Medellín. On weekends I'm here: planting, measuring, learning, and honestly getting things wrong — every session logged in the field journal.
This project was born from a love for the land, agriculture, and animals. It's not a business looking for land; it's land that deserves patience. The same discipline I use to build digital products — baseline, logging, iteration — applies here, except the delivery cycle is measured in years and the outcome is something you can eat.
