Hāmākua Chocolate Farm on the Big Island of Hawaii does a fabulous tour. They also grow all their mix-ins (fruits, spices, etc.) on site. It's like visiting a botanical garden and chocolate factory together 😊

A horizontal branch of a chocolate tree with a flower, some buds, and a number of very underripe fruits.
The flower is white with a dark pink center. The petals look like a Fleur de lis with some being curled and others straight like knife blades. The fruit pods are long narrow ovals with deep veining, and are in shades from bright green on the smallest ones to dark maroon on the largest.
In the background are bright green leaves, and the out of focus torso of a person in a blue t-shirt.
