Protecting the Forest
Zorzal Cacao is grown inside a 1,000-acre bird sanctuary in the Dominican Republic. 70% of the land is permanently protected forest. The remaining 30% is used for growing organic cacao in a regenerative agroforestry system that promotes biodiversity and carbon sequestration.
Paying Farmers Properly
Zorzal pays farmers up to 50% above local market rates for cacao, providing economic incentives for sustainable practices. They also offer training in organic and bird-friendly farming techniques, enhancing livelihoods and environmental stewardship.
Supporting Birdlife
As the world’s first Bird Friendly-certified cacao farm, Zorzal’s conservation initiatives have led to a significant increase in Bicknell’s Thrush populations. Their efforts demonstrate how cacao production can align with wildlife preservation.
