01 / The story

Great chocolate begins beneath the soil.

DADs Farm began in 2017 on an idle property in Brgy. Old Guia, Ma-ayon, Capiz. What started as a farm dream evolved into a diversified landscape of cacao, fruit-bearing and native trees—and later, a chocolate venture built around Philippine origin.

In 2020, founder Jose Roy Depon stepped away from seafaring to focus on the farm and chocolate full-time. Today the model is designed to keep more value connected to the source: farm, post-harvest, product and brand.
