The farm is a research farm, which is planted with almost 3 hectares of coffee. The main focus has been on applying best practices, experimenting with new processing methods, developing tools to make coffee production more sustainable and learning about farm management. With 15 different coffee varieties planted on the farm, it is also a seed bank where farmers can source seeds to cultivate new varieties for their farms.

The location

Coffee from Colombia

Colombia is one of the largest coffee producers in the world and benefits greatly from having one of the most unique and complex set of micro-climates of all coffee producing nations.

The Cauca region of Colombia

Attractive growing conditions afforded by its altitude, proximity to the equator and the protection afforded by surrounding mountains, enabling a stable microclimate year round. Cauca is a region also known for its World Heritage listed national parks, wildlife, and life-giving water sources

Farm processes

Washed process

Machines are used to remove the flesh from the coffee cherry before being fermented in water, washed again, and finally sun dried. This process tends to result in more distinct, cleaner flavours.
