Tree Ownership & Tree Friends Club

    Made to highlight the concept of Tree Ownership in its general terms - its value for the world in whole and limitless benefits for each of the parties - farmers, owners and all else between. The idea, being clear, simple and on demand, can be applicable to others than listed valuable trees and well explained on our main website of Kalos Fund. In real life we tested it on a trees of Cacao, launching the Cacao tree club  in Nakhon Si Thammarat, Thailand, which all below presents its full potential.  

 "Dears, please sorry -we are fully-On,  WWWhile the website still under the development..."
- from the sincere stream of the founders.

Sweetest way to be good with nature - to have your own cacao tree!

Trees in holy texts

 According to Vedas and Puranas - immortal ancient source of Aryan wisdom - planting a trees it is a very favorable act, founded by Supreme Goddess. More than half of the people live today in cities, playing in a various everyday games and don't have a time and space for planting a trees. So in addition to other reasons Tree Ownership (or "Tree adoption") could be the new step for some of city-dwellers to return to the Mother-Earth - to  nature. And this step appearing in its dream-alike form - by buying the harvesting tree of cacao in a paradise-looking scenery. 
 Goddess Parvati planted the Ashoka tree and honoring it as Her son.
Being one of the Great Sages - Richi -She invited other 7 Rishis to run the rite to sanctify the tree. 
Rishis asked her: 

"O Goddess, only you can set-up the ritual of tree planting as a Rule. 
What is a reason to honour the tree as a son?"
Devi answered:

"If wise man digging the well in a village without the water - he will enjoy in Heaven as much, as much water in this well. Pool is equal to 10 of same wells, pond is uqual to 10 pools. Daughter, being marry, equal to 10 ponds, and one sacrifice is same as 10 daughters. One son equal to 10 of sacrifices, and one tree equal to the 10 sons.  
    This is my Rule, its invariable and valid in all the worlds. When the destroyed is reborning, reward for that is doubled". 
That's was a Birthday of Ganesha.

After three happy events this story started, lately we planted first few of our young cacao trees. Then it grows to concept of Tree Owners Club. First Club offers:
1. the cacao trees - with full services to receive fresh chocolate or other desired products;
2. the chocolate - the only way to order our mini-farm's chocolate inventions.
3. The eco-retreat - exclusive programs to stay on farm's own resort, overlooking the river and located between sea & waterfall.

1. We just created Kalos Fund, and run it according to the main plan - to make World better through creating new interesting startups in tourism & holiday property business.
2. By chance, going to see one famous waterfall we found the Cocoa farm - probably the only one in Thailand. In addition to the farm there is river-view resort on-site belongs to the owning family -  we decided to stay here longer when awaked and saw the riverside. Its located between the beach and waterfall, in easy acess from port & airport and close to few other waterfalls, beaches and temples;
3. Having limited amount of trees, personnel of farm supported the tree owners with desired additional services - up to making the chocolate from the trees of individual owners, packaging it to keep for their arrival and even send it by post worldwide (available now). 

So, the "Tree Owners Club" was born.

 From that first meeting we spent certain amount of time  here in a farm - with trees and people who takes care about them.
We met and talk to locals around, guests of resort, invited our friends and relatives, including some people from the island where we were staying before, with many others we shared some thoughts online (without making any social campaigns yet).
People loves the plan and added some useful tips - how they want to own the tree and use it, what they want on holidays and so on. Among those who's been here at farm most are planning to come back. Others already tried the chocolate and want more. So, we collected list of notes and composed list of benefits for the buyers - on what terms our members wants to own the cocoa tree, what they need before paying for it, and what extra-services they require for total comfort.  
​After some time of working on that here are two kinds  of services,  which provided  by farm. Related to Cacao, there are many options what you will not find anywhere else - starting from location and ending with chocolate taste.
​     For sure, the fact that our first club trees are Cacao tree - divine source of chocolate and gift from God of Venus - played its role.  Now we preparing collection of 3 clubs around the country - each place has its own natural world, and the trees in each represents the whole culture story.
The name "Tree Ownership" based on product's legal appearance - what's written in a contract.
  All the trees what we presenting are not for wood or felling.

"Buying quite often some chocolate bars in the 7/11 I never knew that Cacao trees feel them also good in Thailand.
​So its great that now life in Nakhon Si Thammarat gave us as a chocolate lovers a chance to make our special-unique-natural-organic chocolate! The difference between that homemade chocolate and the one from the shops is so huge that my English is not enough to describe it. But its more or less enough to briefly show the full process how to create your own chocolate, syrup and special shakes .

Few easy recipes

What I can say that after making own chocolate its look like I’m not going to buy chocolate anymore. Even my favorite, such as “Ferrero” or even”Ritter Sport”. Cocoa pods also good for decaration and souvenirs.
