There are three families living and working on the farm. In an attempt to brake the generally employed short term contracts which allows owners to avoid paying benefits, PURAVIDA has worked out a long term contract with our employees. The contracts allows the workers to function like a small cooperative and gives them complete responsability for the cacao. The long term contracts have allowed all of them to start their own vegetable patches and to send their children to school regularly.
For the long term, PURAVIDA is looking into joining up with a Cooperative of small organic farms which would ensure organic certification of our cacao and other produce. We are also looking into diversification with palm heart and acai.
