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
Micaela Peña operates El Romerillo and participates in the El Horcón producer committee. The committee connects otherwise isolated smallholders; together its members cultivate more than seven varieties across over twenty hectares, but El Romerillo itself is documented as Peña's one-hectare farm.
Challenges
Small, geographically isolated producers can have limited access to technical exchange and international buyers; the El Horcón committee helps address both.
Innovations
The committee model supports shared agricultural learning and market feedback without combining Peña's farm identity into an anonymous regional lot.
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.
