Description
Maputo Farm, located in La Perla, Nanegal in the Pichincha region of Ecuador at 1350 MASL, is run by a husband and wife team who previously worked as a surgeon and a midwife. Coffee on the farm began almost by chance after they discovered a few coffee plants growing on their land. What started as curiosity slowly developed into a serious dedication to producing coffee.
Today the farm is managed year-round, with harvest seasons requiring the coordination of 20–40 pickers each day while overseeing processing at the wet mill, fermentation, pulping, washing, and careful drying. Outside of harvest the work continues with pruning, fertilizing, planting new trees, and maintaining the fields. For the producers, coffee is not only about the crop but also about community, providing jobs for people in the surrounding countryside and maintaining long-term relationships with the buyers who support their work year after year.
