Alejandro Solis is the third generation farmer of this gorgeous 100 hectare plantation. Working with the esteemed Josue Morales (of farms Pintado and Esperanza), they’ve created a Rainforest certified and fully organic operation that features a full Vermiculture farm. These worms allow them to process all the pulp removed from the coffee during processing to create a gold-standard fertilizer. What comes out of the soil goes straight back in!
