Costa Rica Hacienda Sonora

Alberto Guardia began growing coffee at Hacienda Sonora 45 years ago. His son Diego was born and raised on Sonora, and after graduating from University, he returned home to work with his father and improve and maintain the farm’s operation.
Hacienda Sonora is a 100-hectare farm, 65 hectares are dedicated to shade coffee, 10 hectares to sugarcane and 25 hectares are wild forest reserve. Sonora’s coffees grow amongst indigenous trees and other diverse vegetation. Thanks to the farm’s ecosystem, many different species of birds and animals make their homes on the land.
Sonora strives to have a positive impact on the environment and people that surround its business. All of the energy consumed by the farm is 100% renewable energy harvested on the farm. This energy supplies power to the coffee mill and provides a portion of free electricity for some of the people who live and work at the farm. The green energy is harvested from a natural water stream with a special turbine.
One of the many things that makes Hacienda Sonora so different from other farms is the fact that they provide free accommodation for each worker and their families at the farm’s houses.
