Caballero family farms

The story

The Caballero family coffee legacy began in 1906 with Marysabel Caballero's great-grandfather. Marysabel, a fourth-generation producer, and her husband Moises Herrera later established Finca el Puente. The family has since expanded their operations across multiple farms near Marcala, with the next generation, including their son Ezri and grandson Fabio Jr, continuing the tradition.

Challenges

The family has navigated the historical difficulty of low earnings in the coffee market and the ongoing need to manage environmental and social conditions on their farms.

Innovations

The family has modernized their wet and dry milling facilities to maintain strict quality control. They are known for experimental processing techniques, such as semi-anaerobic fermentation, and a strong focus on environmental sustainability.
