| We have germinated a coffee seed! |
Many of you remember we started
experimenting with growing coffee back in January. Central Florida is
very similar in climate to West Africa with temperatures there, being
about 5-10 degrees warmer.
While learning about the human trafficking situation at the cocoa plantations in the Ivory Coast, I decided to start my own experiment with growing cocoa.
Much to my surprise, cocoa is even easier to grow from seed than coffee and it's also a high demand cash crop in most of the world. We now have 20 coca trees that are all around 10" tall!

We're hoping to take what we learn here in Central Florida, to Burkina Faso and stimulate the local economy.
Oh, by the way, here is what one of the little coffee seedlings look like today!
