Belmont Cocoa Estates

Belmont estates is an old cocoa plantation in northeastern Grenada. Today they buy cocoa beans from the farmers, process the beans, and then sell them to the cocoa exporters. Henry the plantation foreman took us on a tour of the processing facility where the fermenting, drying, polishing, and bagging of the beans takes place. Henry has been at Belmont Estate for over 40 years, and he really knows his cocoa! The remainder of the grounds are kept up for the enjoyment of the tourists that visit the estate.
