CAHABON

Life Blooms From Nourished Roots

Nestled in the mountains of Alta Verapaz, Cahabon flows alongside a river that winds its way toward Semuc Champey. Here, small-scale Q’eqchi’ farming families live and work in close relationship with the land—and with one another.

This origin was born from a food sovereignty initiative, where the primary focus is nourishing the community. Cacao, in this context, is not the main driver—but a natural extension of an already abundant and well-cared-for ecosystem.

Grown within diverse forest gardens, cacao trees are surrounded by fruit, spices, and native species—creating a living system rooted in balance and reciprocity. Many families have been practicing organic methods for years, guided by both tradition and a deep respect for the land.

Cahabon is supported by local initiatives such as the Dokeshi Project, which helps strengthen farming practices, provides social programs, and ensures some of the highest payments for wet cacao in the region. Through this model, each harvest remains traceable to the families who cultivate it—supporting both transparency and connection.

More than 50 Q’eqchi’ families contribute to this cacao, working together as a community where knowledge is shared, support is mutual, and the land is tended with care.

This is cacao that begins with nourishment—of soil, of people, and of community—and from that, everything else grows.
