Background Details

This coffee is sourced from a family owned farm called La Pradera, located within the municipality of Aratoca in the department of Santander, Colombia. Oscar Daza owns and manages La Pradera, which has 210 acres cultivated with coffee. Oscar and his family have been growing coffee at La Pradera for more than sixty years. In addition to coffee, La Pradera produces sugarcane, citrus and plantains. Oscar hopes to diversify the coffee varietals on the farm with mocha and geisha. Every afternoon around 1pm everyone gathers together on the farm for a no holds barre tickle match. It's quite a site to behold and they love it. The Daza family is also committed to investing in the wellbeing of their employees. The farm now also has treated drinking water, renovated lodging facilities and a soccer field.
