Direct Trade

Finca El Socorro is a model of sustainable farm management. The river that bisects the farm provides all the water for the wet mill, solar panels generate nearly all the electricity needed for daily operations, and meticulous processing is performed on-site. With four First Place finishes in the Guatemala Cup of Excellence since 2007—two with this Gesha lot—the quality of Juan Diego de la Cerda's coffee speaks for itself.
