Frogs In The Bathroom
from The Chocolate Bros Hosted by Adam Pearson
Back in the day when my brother built our first cacao processing facility in Peru, we had no idea what we were doing. And I mean no idea whatsoever. It was so long that I had forgotten about some pretty interesting stories from those times. Our first facility was built on the site of a government germplasm bank. Our second facility was built in an abandoned parking lot. Next to the abandoned parking lot was an all concrete building that my brother Brian and my brother in law Miguel rented and lived in together. These two grown men stayed in bunk beds, cooked their meals outdoors over a propane camping stove, and used a bathroom that had about 20 frogs living in it. They did all of this on faith that they would figure out how to process cacao correctly and that there would be a market for it. Thankfully it paid off! To hear a bunch of interesting stories about those times, check out our latest episode of the Chocolate Bros Podcast.
