Tetteh Quarshie Cocoa Farm
Visit this small historic farm owned by the most celebrated farmer who had no formal education yet introduced what would later become Ghana’s economic backbone. You will be surprised to know that the cocoa plant is that it is a non-native African plant so the question is.. “how did cocoa get to Ghana?” a visit to the farm will not only give you all the answers but you will see for yourselves two of the surviving original trees planted by Tetteh Quarshie- the clever blacksmith who ‘smuggled’ the original cocoa beans into Ghana.
Take the opportunity to visit interesting things around such as the centre for scientific research into plant medicine.
