Friday the 13th seems like a very unlucky day. During the night, a huge fell on top of our house and factory. The tree crushed our chocolate factory but spared our house. The event, now called Tree-Rex, occurred during the night while it stormed. Timing is everything! Everyone survived. Even the iguanas!
We love trees and this tree is my personal favorite. For this reason, the loss of such beautiful tree saddens us. Never-the-less, this tree finished its life naturally right on top of our house and factory.
Since no one perished and our house survived with minor damages, we consider Friday the 13th the luckiest day yet! Factories are rebuilt and dreams re-sparked!
We will keep our staff fully paid and continue our place as one of the best chocolates produced in Costa Rica. We stopped production for now, as the roaster is damaged. Parts and technicians arrive this week to revive our roaster. This good news means that, once we get Frank the roster running we will start production in the rest of the factory! The financial challenges we face are why we started a Go Fund Me Campaign .
