The Chocolate Garden

We craft everything from scratch — chocolate, ice cream, sorbet, butter, gluten-free baking, and more. 🍫🍦
This is a rare, hands-on chance to learn directly from an expert chocolatier and kitchen scientist, who is also a jeweler, photographer, artist, and inventor. 🔬📷
You won’t just watch; you’ll practice real skills in small batches, understand the “why” behind each process, and help shape a space that teaches people the story of cacao and flavor.

I’ve lived in Guatemala for 45 years, working alongside Indigenous communities to promote social responsibility, healthcare, and education. Our team is local, experienced, and community-focused, with decades of welcoming and guiding volunteers. 🤝 You can expect respect, clear communication, and patient mentorship—plus a collaborative environment where curiosity is encouraged and your ideas are valued. 💛
