On the farm, the cacao trees weren"t planted in neat rows or grouped together. No land was cleared. Instead, it was a mélange of trees and plants, tangles of vines, abundant ferns, blooming orchids.

The bird peppers were just starting to ripen, turning from green to orange to red in the unwavering sunshine.
