“We met Sarah about two years ago when we had just started learning about the cocoa industry. We knew very little about cocoa and with Sarah’s help and guidance we learned about fermentation and drying of cocoa beans. Sarah continues to guide and assist us and we are doing a lot better now. We endorse her for the wonderful work that she is doing for us and any other farmers that are willing to learn about the industry”

“Rubbish in, rubbish out; quality in, quality out. This is a mantra we have learnt from Sarah. She has been an integral part in every aspect of our journey as small scale organic farmers by encouraging us to improve at all levels of cocoa production. Her innovation and wealth of knowledge is always shared with an enthusiastic hands-on approach. It is her guidance, along with that of our other mentors, that has allowed us to improve our quality and step up standards at Bethany Estate to where they are today. We are truly grateful for all that she has shared with us. Sarah is a wonderful ambassador of Theo (Theobroma cacao).”

“Sarah’s talent, dedication and passion alongside years of field and academic studies made her the perfect ally when I started to grow The C Note Ltd chocolate business. Her commitment to excellence and her deep respect for the farmers with whom she works have been an inspiration. As an artisan chocolatier, I know I am in the best hands with Sarah when it comes to knowing exactly what flavour and bean quality I am getting from a specific batch of cocoa from a specific origin at a specific time of the year. Her thorough attention to detail and her extensive practical knowledge in working on small and large bean lots across the Caribbean have made her one of the best business partners I have had in my chocolate journey.”
