Green Acres Chocolate Farm

“It’s a strange story, but that’s how all great stories begin. My path collided with the sweetest, funniest, most personable man, during a two day puppy rescue mission in the deep rainforest surrounding our overwater bungalow, in the middle of nowhere in Bocas Del Toro, Panama. We hiked for days through the rainstorms, our boots covered in mud, and arms sore from kayaking to every corner of the rainforest. All to find a lost puppy, born just a few days ago, and would not be able to survive without his mother. Gary was almost in tears by the nightfall, certain that the pup would not make it through the night. By luck and persistence, we looked onwards through the night until sunrise when we heard the mother call out to her puppy from our kayak and a soft whimper echoed in response. There was not a single dry eye that day and Gary and I instantly became the best of friends! He is a kind soul that the world needs to know.”

Gary’s Story

Gary grew up in the United States, with a huge interest in conservation science and protecting our precious earth. He started from scratch after buying a plot of land in Bocas and began to plant his own botanical garden, with the help and support of the local people who lived on this land and became family to him.
