DESCRIPTION
:
Established in 1987, Finca La Flor is situated in the Matagalpa department just near the border of Jinotega. The Farm rests on the slopes of the Peñas Blancas mountains just north of the town of La Dalia. Don Haroldo Altamirano owns and operates the farm, which is about 20 manzanas in size (about 14 hectares).
Marsellesa and catimor are the primary varieties of coffee being grown. After hand-picking only ripe cherry, Haroldo Altamirano processes these as both washed and natural(this lot is fully washed). The husk, or “cascara” is also separated from the cherry processed coffee to be offered as a type of tea drink.
Don Haroldo and his family have had a rich history of growth, loss and rebuilding over the years.
The Altamirano family is currently developing a health clinic to provide care for the farm’s employees and their families. The area around the farm suffered devastating loss of life and property when both hurricanes Eta and Iota hit Nicaragua in late 2020. Ernesto and local Southern California LatinX community leaders came together to provide aid in Nicaragua and other hard-hit Central American countries.
We are excited to be able to offer this lot and to support Finca La Flor and the great work they are doing.
