Pará, Amazon Rainforest, Brazil • Award-Winning Regenerative Cacao
Paulo and his wife run La do Sitio, an award-winning cacao farm in the Amazon rainforest of Pará, Brazil. Their farm is part of the CEPOTX cooperative, which supports small-scale farmers through regenerative practices. La do Sitio has won multiple regional cacao awards, recognizing their commitment to quality and sustainable farming in the heart of the Amazon.
Located deep in the Amazon Rainforest, La do Sitio represents the best of regenerative agroforestry. The farm demonstrates how small-scale farmers can produce premium cacao while preserving and enhancing the rainforest ecosystem. Through their partnership with the CEPOTX cooperative, Paulo and his family have access to resources and knowledge that help them maintain the highest standards of quality and sustainability.
The multiple regional cacao awards won by La do Sitio are a testament to their dedication to excellence. Each award recognizes not just the quality of their cacao, but also their commitment to regenerative practices that benefit both the land and the community. This farm stands as a model for how award-winning quality and environmental stewardship can go hand in hand.
