Tetteh Quarshie Cocoa Farm

Mampong Akuapem, Mampong · Eastern

The farm where Tetteh Quarshie planted Ghana's first cocoa seeds, still growing the original trees.

The local tip

A guide will show you how pods are opened and beans fermented; buy cocoa products here rather than at the airport.

Check before leaving

Confirm the site is open and a guide is on hand, as staffing is limited.
