Oreba Chocolate Community

We went with a family over to Oreba Chocolate's tour in March. The family was so taken with the experience they wanted to send something back for the community. We asked the Peace Corp representative what would be a good gift for the community. He told us that the kids were really into playing baseball. The family sent a set of gloves for this community and for another community where they kayaked here in Bocas del Toro. This video is from Adam, the peace corp representative, showing a few of the kids playing catch with the gloves. It was perfect timing - we brought the gloves back in our container in early July just in time for the children to begin their baseball season. The village in conjunction with several other indigenous villages has a league for the children.

Green Acres Chocolate Farm

Just a reminder to check out David & Linda's video on YouTube. This beautiful farm needs the right owners to continue with the stewardship of the farm as begun by the Cerutti family.

Mushrooms at the farm

Green Acres Chocolate Farm

We have been blessed in having Dave & Linda Cerutti as our friends for some time now. We are sad to report that they have decided to sell the farm. It is time for them. Running the farm and keeping it in the state that they are accustomed has become difficult for them. As such, they are selling the farm in order to move somewhere on the mainland in Panama. We produced this video for them so that people might get a feel for how special a place the farm is. If you know anyone who might be truly interested in purchasing the farm, they can contact Dave Cerutti by email at greenacresfarm @ hotmail.com or by phone from the USA at 011- 507- 6638- 8961. We hope that the farm is transferred onto another special owner as it is an incredible place.

For the record: Ramon’s name is Ramon Fernandez Frances. I spelled it wrong in this post and in the last post. I can’t easily go back and change the photos, but I will change it next time.

Green and Black Frogs

Here are a couple of pictures of the green and black Dendrobates we see on the mainland at Green Acres Farm which is the home of Cerutti and Family Chocolate.



David has the frog on his finger to give you an idea of its size.



Here is a close up of the little guy in his natural environment.
