Our Chocolate Farm Eco-Tour
Green Acres is an amazing place. It is much more than a chocolate farm. The property is one of the most beautiful places we've been, and the education Gary provides about the chocolate production, trees, property, and wildlife is fascinating. He is extremely knowledgeable and very passionate about taking care of the planet as well as helping the local Bocas community.
If you have the chance, it is well worth the visit!

THE HISTORY OF
GREEN ACRES
Chocolate Farm and Botanical Gardens
In 1996 Linda and Dave Cerutti purchased an abandoned cocao plantation on the shores of Dolphin Bay in Panama.
Their new plantation included the rare Criollo cacao tree - only five percent of all cacao beans grown.
The Cerutti's rejuvenated the existing Criollo trees and planted additional cacao and many beautiful botanical plants and trees on the 30 acres. Their twenty years of dedicated and careful eco-management set the foundation for Green Acres Chocolate Farm.
Planet Rehab, our grassroots nonprofit organization, founded by Gary Mitchell, is dedicated to protecting and restoring our Earth's ecosystems, species, and natural resources, and in 2019 established an outpost at Green Acres to be better able to focus on our initiatives. Gary remains deeply committed to protecting the environment and enjoys the opportunity to provide daily educational tours of the beautiful rainforest that he calls home.
