Glad I finally made it there. This farm and Tetteh Quarshie are a big part of the Ghanaian story even till today. The tour is relatively short. 30 minutes give or take. It’s a guided tour through the small farm whiles listening to the story of Tetteh Q and his cocoa farm. You get to see two cocoa trees that have existed from way back then, some of the processes cocoa is taken thru such as fermentation and drying The guides and really welcoming. It cost 20ghc for Ghanaians and 40ghc for foreigners. I do agree with the rest, it’s a bit pricey. Glad I made it there!

All the facts you need to Know about Cocoa in Ghana n its history. Learn the process of harvesting n drying before it gets to the factories for the finnest products you see in shops.

I loved the history. I got to know how the was brought to Ghana from Fernando Po current-day Equatorial Guinea by Tetteh Quarshie. It was there I got to know that he never swallowed the cocoa beans but a different story altogether. If you want to know the whole story, I have a video of it on Youtube.

Interesting visit to know more about cacao and to taste it from the fresh fruit to the dry fruit used to make chocolate! The team is very friendly and patient with kids! I always go there with visitors...

You will love ❤️ it as you enjoy 😉 in walking in the very first cocoa farm in Ghana 🇬🇭 and also get to taste real dark chocolate without any additives.

Great staff, great experience overall. Just a little more exposure needed to become an even bigger tourist site. Suggestion: why isn't there a cocoa processing factory around? Might bring up even more profit.

Nice place with a guide. Even had a chance to taste cocoa beans fresh and dry as well.

Historically named place for tourists attraction

Historic place worthy of visiting

Kept for generations, whoever is fascinated by cocoa farming in Ghana could check out it's origin from here... It is a story of trials and failures and an eventual Triumph...very inspiring considering the impact of cocoa trading on Ghana's economy and that of Africa at large.. Few meters from the District Police station at Akuapem Mampong. You could get here by Public Transport

Am educative farm to visit and hear the history on Ghana cocoa and Tetteh Quashie the man who brought commercial cocoa to Ghana 🇬🇭

I revisited the Tetteh Quashie Cocoa Farm in April 2023 with my wife & 6yo daughter, having first visited the site in 2008. My wife originates from the township of Mampong, and I figured a tour to the cocoa farm would be great for my daughter to learn about cocoa farming and it's importance to Ghana. I must report that while the walking tour around the farm is largely unchanged, I suggest that reader go to YouTube, and look up "Ghanapedia Tetteh Quarshie Cocoa Farm", and watch my video, particurly from the 7:00m point onwards. In 2008, the site appears to have had some investment, and there was a small visitor centre with interesting displays about cocoa farming, and a souvenir shop. Fast forward to 2023, the visitor centre & souvenir shop is now completely gutted - two empty rooms that don't show any trace of their former glory, other than name plaques above the doors where they once were. While I kind of get the souvenir shop if it wasn't profitable, it seems completely senseless to take the displays away from the visitor centre, as I'm unsure where else they could be used. I'm still confounded by why it was considered a fine idea to take the static displays away, and the point behind it. I mean, what the hell were they used for other than their intended purpose ? To me, the Ghana Tourism Board owes an explanation as to what has happened to this part of the site, and should be taking immediate steps to restore or replace it, as it's a disgrace that it was taken away, especially when the admission fee is commensurate to the figure paid in 2008 (in Ghana Cedis, adjusted for inflation). This is precisely WHAT you pay an admission fee for, and the site should only evolve, as it is otherwise a functioning cocoa farm today. What is left is a walking tour around the cocoa farm, and there is generally a guide from the Ghana cocoa board on the site that will take you around. The short tour is great to educate people on how traditional cocoa farming takes place, something that people probably don't consider when they devour a chocolate bar. With the static visitor centre now gone, this is probably a 30-45 minute visit, and is mostly confined to 3-4 presentations that are made by the guides. Don't take out your frustrations over the loss of the static displays on the guides, and be sure to "dash" them with a few cedis accordingly.

Beautiful place, beautiful history, beautiful reception. Just come during the cocoa season.

Great guide and absolutely fascinating history of cocoa farming in Ghana
