Farm Background
lga Marina González Cuadra has been the owner of this farm since 1999, when he purchased it from Mr. Santana Hernandez.
The farms were 25.90 acres (15 manzanas) and when Iga bought it, it had not been cultivated, so he decided to produce coffee and plantains (guineos). At the beginning the coffee was sold to local buyers.
The producing area is 17.25 acres (10 manzanas), six
of them are producing and the other 4 manzanas will produce in 2010. The remaining property is a Protected Area (mountains) and cannot be damaged or cultivated. In 2005 they participated in the Cup of Excellence Program and won the first place (2005)
and 17th place in 2006 and now are so happy to have obtained the 4th place in 2009
The coffee variety is Maracaturra and the farm also has other plants and trees, such as jocote, orange, avocado, plantain, guineo (banana/plantain) and lemon.
The family has been involved in the production process. My family help with the running of the farm. The children a son (16) and a daughter (14) are learning about the different processes of coffee production so they will be a great support in the coming years.
The family believe good farming principles and quality management along with the environment, soil quality, altitude, good fertilizing practices (organic and coffee pulp combined with some chemical formulas), and the great efforts the workers to obtain the best fruit are the secret to maintaining high quality coffee, but above of all, God’s blessing and help.
