Colombia Finca Maracay

Luz Helena has been producing coffee for the last 20 years. She owns Maracay, an 8-hectare farm located in Armenia, Quindio which is nestled in the western end of the Andes mountains.

Luz Helena is a lifelong advocate for Colombian grown coffee. She is recognised as an extremely talented farmer and as a strong, resourceful leader. Not content to stop at coffee, she also manages farms growing oranges and avocados.

For several years now, her focus has been on producing Specialty Coffee. With the support of her family, Luz has been able to improve farm practices and focus on producing the best cherries she can.

When Luz is not tending to her coffee trees, she enjoys spending time with her friends and being part of local support groups for vulnerable people.

Nicaragua Finca El Encino

Finca El Encino is a 27-hectare farm owned by Martha Lucia Albir Sotomayor. Together with her sister Ana, she manages the Cafetos de Segovia micromill as well as managing her own coffee farms.

Martha takes special care to preserve the natural forest and its ecosystem and wildlife. She works with an ecoforestry coffee model, supporting native flora and fauna and protecting water sources.

She also works to better the lives of the community by employing within the region and supporting educational programs for primary and preschool children.

The Albir family hopes to make the farm a tourist attraction for national and foreign visitors to share their work and education. They also want to continue to implement ecoforestry production systems on the farm and better preserve the quality of harvested coffee.
