Garden Island Chocolate

Founded by Koa, Garden Island Chocolate began with a vision of creating the world's best chocolate while supporting local agriculture and the community. Koa's journey into chocolate making started with a fascination for regional foods and a quest to understand the process of turning cacao beans into chocolate. After extensive research and experimentation, he perfected the techniques necessary to produce high-quality chocolate on Kauai.

The farm grows a dozen different varieties of cacao, each requiring unique fermentation and roasting processes tailored to Kauai's climate. Emphasizing organic farming, the gardens are cultivated to provide clean, healthy food and enrich the soul. The focus is on maintaining the purity of the land, water, and air, which they consider true wealth.

Garden Island Chocolate offers premium, organic 80% dark chocolate bars in four flavors: Kauai Macadamia Nut and Coconut, Hemp Seed and Mint, Vegan Coconut Milk Chocolate, and Mayan Spice. Their products are available at various local stores and farmer's markets on Kauai. The founder's background includes extensive travel and education, which influenced his approach to chocolate making.
