Kampura is a regenerative cacao farm in Izabal, Guatemala, built from land that had been exhausted by cattle pasture. Founded in 2011, the project has restored that landscape into a working agroforestry system where cacao grows under native canopy alongside cardamom, mahogany, rosewood, natural rubber, and protected forest.
About Kampura
Kampura means “beautiful woman” in Miskito, a language spoken along Nicaragua’s Caribbean coast. The farm uses the name as a tribute to nature’s quiet strength and to the Miskito people who helped explain its meaning.
Across 800 hectares (2,000 acres) in Izabal, Kampura grows heirloom-designated cacao and cardamom in a restored agroforestry system. The farm manages its own post-harvest process, growing, fermenting, drying, roasting, and stone-grinding cacao at origin in Guatemala. Kampura’s cacao has earned Heirloom Cacao Preservation designation #17 and has been recognized by Cacao of Excellence, including a Bronze Award in the 2025 global evaluation.
