Our story is different from the traditional stories of coffee-growing farms. We did not inherit a farm that was already growing coffees, or implemented the traditional techniques for identifying and commercializing green beans.
Our vision about our country’s coffee-market is one in which growers are being asked to deliver a high-quality coffee that has to meet the highest standards required by the specialty coffee industry; the reality is that most of them don’t have the right equipment, knowledge, infrastructure or resources to deliver such quality.
In 2011 we decided to start our life´s project: a coffee farm that would challenge the status quo of the coffee industry. We looked at over 100 farms throughout the first year, searching only for the perfect “ecotopo” that could meet the strict search criteria that we had.
In November we finally found a magical place and purchased an 18-hectares land that was used for cattle farming during the last 10 years. It was everything we dreamed of: mountain, forest, river and neighboring coffee growers.
