About Us
Acklins Island
Residents in the southeast Bahamas have been involved in the harvesting of cascarilla bark for over 100 years. The Acklins Islanders Coop with a current membership of over three hundred was formed to bring together many harvesters to produce quality products based on the cascarilla bark. Due to the climate and topography, it is said that the cascarilla bark grown in the Bahamas produces one of the most potent essential oils of its kind in the world.
The Process
Cascarilla plants are already growing on the 100-acre farm. The Cooperative plans to plant an additional 80,000 plants to
populate the entire farm. The growers and harvesters are very knowledgeable in the overall process in growing and harvesting the bark. This includes planting the trees, knowing the right conidiations for harvesting. The harvesters will be responsible for sustainably propagating the cascarilla plant. These participants process cascarilla bark based on international specifications to fulfil pre-order purchases in the global market, while adhering to the signed procurement agreement by local and international companies.
The mission
Our mission is not only to produce quality products from cascarilla to serve the world, but also to provide employment to the islanders. To bring industrial development to the southeast Bahamas, and to create generational wealth to all families living in the region.
