"Look, there's a whale," Tom said matter-of-factly as he pointed down the hill toward the ocean. "We see a lot of breaches when we're working up here. Can't beat this view!" I was following Tom Menezes, farmer and co-owner of Hawaiian Crown Chocolates, around a hilltop field north of Hilo, Hawaii. He was showing us his cacao orchard and explaining how he makes chocolate from beans that he ...
