Finca El Faldón
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
Rubén bought the land after roughly 20 years working as a traveling farm laborer. The farm’s name means “the skirt,” describing the two mountain ridges around the homestead. Partners Coffee first tasted the coffee in 2015 and has bought every subsequent harvest offered.
Challenges
The cold, high site can limit productivity, and mudslides sometimes block the route to the main road. The farm was once accessible only by an hour-long hike.
Innovations
Specialty premiums helped the family add parabolic drying tunnels and a direct-access road. Rubén also built a water-and-gravity PVC system to help about 20 neighboring producers move picked coffee safely down El Noque’s steep slopes.
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.
