OUR FIRST TASTE OF AÇAÍ ENERGIZED NOT ONLY OUR BODIES, BUT STIMULATED OUR MINDS. WE LEARNED THAT LOCALS COULD EARN MORE HARVESTING AÇAÍ THAN CLEAR-CUTTING THE FOREST. SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT WAS HAPPENING RIGHT BEFORE OUR EYES AND WE KNEW THERE WAS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR MORE SIGNIFICANT CHANGE. REALIZING THAT WE COULD HELP PROMOTE THE PRESERVATION OF THE AMAZON RAINFOREST AND CONTRIBUTE TO THE POSITIVE ECONOMIC CHAIN REACTION THAT BENEFITS THE INDIGENOUS PEOPLE, OUR MISSION BEGAN BY SHARING THIS REMARKABLE FRUIT WITH THE REST OF THE WORLD.
