This is a research profile, not an independently conducted farm visit. Producer and coffee relationships are shown only when the records agree. Check the research sources below for supporting evidence.
The story
Balceros is a family-owned farm located in the San Agustín area of Huila, Colombia. The farm is managed by Miller Fabricio Hoyos, who has been recognized for his commitment to producing high-quality coffee lots.
Challenges
Coffee producers in the San Agustín area of Huila face significant climate risks, including extreme rainfall that can lead to landslides and damage to coffee trees. These environmental pressures require constant vigilance to protect farm infrastructure and maintain consistent production levels.
Innovations
The farm is managed by a new generation of producers who are members of the Monkaaba collective, which focuses on specialty coffee quality and sustainable growth practices. These producers prioritize modern cultivation techniques to ensure the long-term viability of their coffee lots.

For blends, a farm may be named for one documented component without growing the entire coffee. These catalog relationships do not independently verify every lot, harvest or producer. See individual coffee profiles for traceability evidence.
