History and traceability

The story

Certified organic and bird-friendly, Finca La Pradera stands out for its innovative approach to coffee farming.

At the heart of its model is a complex agroforestry system comprising three layers of shade and fifteen different tree species. This structure not only protects the coffee trees from direct sunlight, but also provides a rich habitat for local biodiversity and migratory birds.

The farm uses sustainable farming practices, including terracing to combat erosion and adapt to climate change. Mixed farming, including fruit trees and poultry, diversifies income and food resources.

100% organic compost, produced locally from a mixture of filtered wastewater, chicken manure and plant waste, is used to feed the coffee trees.

The social dimension is a key concern, with facilities for seasonal workers designed to retain essential labour during the harvest period.

This coffee is semi-washed. In this process, the beans are pulped and then the mucilage is eliminated by mechanical friction. The coffee is then dried without being washed in water, hence the name "semi-washed". This method preserves the characteristics of the mucilage while ensuring that the coffee is clean as washed coffee.

The name 'Comuneros' pays homage to the revolutionary history of the region, famous for its uprising against Spanish colonialism in the 18th century. This coffee embodies the region's spirit of independence and resistance.

Our coffee is unique and exceptional because we prioritize several key factors: traceability from cultivation to export, environmentally friendly production methods (such as utilizing waste generated during production and using solar energy for our entire facility), the use of traditional tools (like biochar), processing with specialized machinery, and fair treatment and compensation for our workers.

On this 85-hectare farm, located at an altitude of 1700 meters above sea level, Oscar Daza produces organic coffees. He cultivates rust resistant varieties: Castillo, Tabi, Colombia and other susceptible varieties such as Geisha, Wush Wush, Typica, Moka and Maragogype.

Finca La Pradera is located in Santander region, near Aratoca village, on the hills of the Chicamocha Canyon, "silver river" in indigenous language.

Oscar Daza promotes agroforestry coffee growing, with more than 15 different species of shade trees protecting his coffee trees. In addition to coffee, Oscar produces plantains, bananas, lemons and eggs from his own chicken farm. Through polyculture, he provides three layers of shade for his coffee trees and additional income.

Partners for six years, this model farm grows organic coffee according to rigorous agro-ecological principles. Certified Bird Friendly, it promotes biodiversity.
