Let's go to Colombia!
From the farm to the San Franscican Roaster!
Finca El Silencio located in an important watershed with forested areas that are home to several species of birds, reptiles, insects, and mammals including the region ́s famous howler monkey. El Silencio has dedicated conservation zones that protect natural springs and water sources as well. The total area of this farm is 16 hectares. It has 27,000 coffee trees planted divided in 5 lots for efficiency and to maintain the coffee production stable. Laura and her husband Cesar are a young couple, looking towards the future of coffee. They also have their own line of roasted coffee to promote the local consumption of quality coffee in the national market. They believe in running the farm in an agronomic sustainable manner and diversifying with other crops like plantain, corn and citrus fruit. Laura is working hard to differentiate her coffee by optimizing protocols for different flavor profiles and offer something new, differentiated, and exciting. This next generation of Colombian coffee farmers believe in the importance of learning, training and dedication to take coffee production to a higher level and make a difference for her and her customers.
