Organic food bars are quickly becoming all the rage. They are a quick way for people to eat healthy while on the go. A great group of people that organic food bars are really best for are children. The childhood obesity rate keeps going up and up. Since food is an integral part of living, a child should be introduced to the best possible food at an early age. Organic food bars are a perfect way for that to happen.
Bali Cacao is one of the last remaining under-commercialized, under-manipulated origins of cacao on earth. Historically, cacao found its way onto the verdant slopes of Bali via the Isle of Java. Java was the site of very first planting of cacao outside of its native origin in southern Mexico and over the centuries cacao fruits, seeds and trees were traded or carried into Bali. In Bali, cacao found both the perfect ecosystem; diverse, shady, damp and cool, as well as the perfect guardian; the Balinese practice natural food forest agriculture and the cacao was allowed to thrive wild and free without breeding for production capacity or other traits. Typical cacao in Bali grows under a canopy of coconuts, mango, mangosteens and durian and grows alongside coffee, bananas and papaya with vines of vanilla climbing up the trunk…A truly beautiful natural system and a truly unique and powerful wild mix of cacao genetics. We have created the worlds first 100% vertically-integrated small farmer cacao supply chain. No other company on the market can guarantee the same level of social, ecological or processing quality and transparency from smallholder farm-gate to shelf. For 3 years, our Bali Farms have been directly training over 2,000 small farmers in over 80 village farmer groups with the on-farm skills they need to grow and prosper with organic cacao.
Talking about growing plants, ideally we like to grow plants in spacious land, with water current around the land. Yet on this day we have to take the reality that a lot of land especially fertile land had had been change over from paddy rice field to become real estate, office complex, villas or hotels.
Back to the growing plants, even though we don’t have any spacious quarter anymore, the growing plants can still take place in the narrow space. PPLH Bali had been moving to the new office can practice farming in a narrow space.
