Why buy from Villakuyaya?

As an entrepreneur, I followed an inside heartbeat that made me create a dream . . . a vision, that with a lot of effort turned into Villakuyaya.

For me to jump into the market a few years back, there was a lot of history behind the brand, and a lot of sacrifices, fears, and sometimes tears. That history was the one that made the difference then, and today what helps me most is the seal in the memories of our loyal customers.

The path for being a business wasn't and isn’t easy, and to stay on that path every day is still harder. At the end of the day I can tell you, I have a face of mission accomplished, because I always try to make or create or publish something for my small business.

Behind Villakuyaya is an unflagging mind who doesn't stop thinking in what is the next step for growth, an unsparing person who works more hours for keeping engagement with the customers, but also behind Villakuyaya is a wife and mom who has to make a balance between the love of house and the love of business.

When you are shopping Villakuyaya you making a difference that at the end of the day all add ups. You make my day by supporting my effort, my dedication, my time, my small business and my family, but also you are supporting the communities behind me, the farmers and their families back in Ecuador that grow the land and the people in the factory that handcrafted produce the chocolate bars.

This year I want to be grateful for you, my customer friends, who have supported Villakuyaya from the beginning and all along the way, and especially since March and the challenges of this year. With your purchase you help inspire and fuel me to stay on this wonderful path that I have chosen. I can tell you that I felt not alone, and your support was amazing.

Thank you

What a year!!!

To return to my blog was a very challenging thing to take up. Since the last time I was writing way back in January 2019, before my little Samuel arrived, I have had to adjust to being a mom for the first time.

It is amazing, but at the same time a full time job and takes up a lot of time.

2019 was a successful year for Villakuyaya, with a lot of wonderful local and international shows where we attended and I met a lot of you guys, my loyalty customers, who love our Villakuyaya chocolate bars and of course our history and background.

It is very unexpected how everything can change overnight, and this is how Covid-19 changed all of our lives. Most of us have spent the year in our homes to be safe, and others were our heroes who saved lives on the front lines, and others who left us and only left a sad memory.

We almost end 2020 with a lot more changes in our lives, but everyday we hope. Everyday people like me or like you had to wake up to cheer up our family, friends, and of course our loyal customers.

I want to end this with a great thank you for your support, and for sharing and introducing your friends and family to Villakuyaya - We truly appreciate it.

This motivates me to keep going with my small business, and to keep doing what i do to bring great chocolate and smiles to your faces.

From my family to yours
