Farm: La Bendicion
Producer: Jose Liberato Jarquin Agurcia
*Farm History:
Everything arises from his retirement, but without thinking of making a large farm but rather as a place of recreation, but as a coffee farm, but seeing the good results has wanted to make more investments in the farm and It has generated an obsession with the characteristics of the place such as landscapes and the quality of the coffee that is generated there.
The farm began to be created in 2008 with 40 of land, but in 2010 7 apples of Catimor variety coffee were planted, but this was lost due to legal problems with people who at that time came to take the land and try to take over it. Currently this problem has been solved and the coffee plantations have been renewed with a current area of 22 manzanas with the Caturra, Catuaí red and yellow, bourbon, tekisic, java and Pacamara varieties.
