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
Marysabel Caballero is a fourth-generation coffee producer whose family began farming coffee in 1906. She and her husband, Moises Herrera, established Finca El Puente in the 1990s. The couple manages their operation in the Marcala region, building upon a legacy of high-quality production previously established by Marysabel's father, Fabio Caballero.
Challenges
The farm has faced significant climate-related obstacles, including severe frost during the 2025 harvest that damaged approximately 50% of the crop. These conditions necessitated intensive sorting processes to maintain quality standards.
Innovations
The farm operates its own modern wet and dry mills, allowing for complete control over processing from harvest to export. They are currently transitioning away from agro-chemicals and synthetic fertilizers toward biological solutions, including the use of shade trees and soil microorganisms.
Published coffees linked to this farm
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.

These source links were recorded for this farm profile. They document its research trail; a linked source is not, by itself, confirmation of every farm, producer, coffee lot or photo identity.
