    This 2-hour guided visit walks you through the entire cacao process: from tree to bar. Sample fresh cacao pulp, observe fermentation and drying areas, and taste small-batch chocolate made on site. The farm also showcases tropical plants and medicinal herbs, providing a broader look at Bocas del Toro’s rainforest ecology. Green Acres is also home to Planet Rehab, a grassroots nonprofit founded by Gary Mitchell and dedicated to protecting and restoring Earth’s ecosystems, species, and natural resources. In 2019, Planet Rehab established an outpost at Green Acres to support its conservation work more closely. Gary remains deeply committed to environmental protection and now shares his passion through daily educational tours of the rainforest he proudly calls home.
