点评:This was one of the best farm tour in Big Island. Tom-owner, farmer, and chocolatier was our tour guide. He took us through his farm explaining how he visioned and designed his farm based on agroforestry systems to create a farm with environmental, economic, and social benefits in mind. He has over 40+ years in farming experiences and knows pretty much everything about growing cocoa, tropical fruits and trees in the island. We got to see the whole process from tree to bar. He gave us samples of nibs, chocolate, apple banana and breadfruit to try. We loved it so much, we brought back home half dozen of chocolate bars in different flavors, nibs, and whole roasted beans. My favorite was the 70% dark chocolate bar with coffee nibs and dried pineapple dipped in dark chocolate, so yum! I highly recommend this tour. Thumbs up!
翻译:这是大岛最棒的农场之旅之一。我们的导游是农场主、农民兼巧克力师傅汤姆。他带我们参观了他的农场,解释了他如何基于农林复合系统构思和设计农场,打造一个兼顾环境、经济和社会效益的农场。他拥有40多年的农业经验,对岛上种植可可、热带水果和树木的方方面面都了如指掌。我们亲眼目睹了从树到块的整个过程。他给了我们碎粒、巧克力、苹果香蕉和面包果的样品。我们非常喜欢,带回了六块不同口味、不同碎粒和不同烘焙豆的巧克力棒。我最喜欢的是70%黑巧克力棒,里面有咖啡碎粒和菠萝干,蘸着黑巧克力吃,真是太美味了!强烈推荐这次旅行,赞一个!
