Finca El Poste underwent challenging times when the land faced foreclosure by the bank due to an outstanding debt. Shortly after, in 1998, Hurricane Mitch swept through the farm, devastating the coffee trees and all farm infrastructure.
The financial institution responsible for the foreclosure decided to auction off the land to interested parties within the region. Numerous potential buyers sought to take advantage of what they believed would be a valuable piece of land sold at a low price. However, just as the deadline approached, Guillermo, the previous owner, managed to improve his financial situation. He invested all his strength and effort to reclaim ownership of the farm. The name ‘El Poste’ originates from this event, signifying that despite the obstacles Guillermo faced, no one else could purchase the farm in the end.

In 2012, misfortune struck again as Guillermo’s coffee trees were heavily affected by leaf rust. This necessitated clearing out all his trees and starting anew from scratch. Despite the adversities on the farm, Guillermo feels profoundly blessed for the opportunities he has experienced in the realm of coffee. Despite his setbacks over the years, Guillermo has consistently risen and his unwavering passion for coffee has always persevered.
