There is SO much activity in the mountains these days! New spring arrivals grab your attention -- by sound, sight or smell -- every single day. The redbuds are in full bloom, turkeys are nesting, and our famous trilliums are carpeting the forest floor.

Caring and Sharing

It's no wonder that May would be chosen as the month for Mother's Day - due to the efforts of West Virginia's own Anna Jarvis - to unite mothers around the world in an observance of peace. It's also graduation season, from a very different academic year. So many memories to share, and look forward to.

This May we are featuring beans from the Lanquín and Cahabón regions of Alta Verapaz, Guatemala. These communities have cultivated - and celebrated - cacao for millenia, and keep passing their knowledge down. May is the beginning of cacao harvest season there, and will continue for several weeks. But cacao needs nourishment and proper care all year long.

The cacao trees in Lanquín and Cahabón are grown in multi-story plots among timber and fruit tree species to assure good nutrient cycling, erosion control and shade cover of cacao. Cacao trees need pruning for sturdy and productive growth, and new cacao trees need to be started in nurseries and transplanted.

The adult children of the original producers have begun to take over greater responsibility for this work over time. Even though these communities are part of the ancient "cradle of cacao", reaping its benefits requires constant work, specialized knowledge and skills, and a commitment to meeting many challenges. And, a connection to folks like you.
