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
SEY describes Santa Maria as a former paramilitary stronghold where coffee production has expanded as the region became safer. Faiber Rodriguez’s daughter is a quality analyst and buyer for Coffee Quest.
Challenges
The farm is located in Santa Maria, Huila, a region that served as a stronghold for paramilitary groups for many years. This history of conflict created significant instability, though the area has since become safer for coffee production.
Innovations
The farm benefits from the owner's daughter, who works as a quality analyst and buyer, providing rare technical expertise at the farm level. They utilize precise processing methods including in-cherry fermentation followed by dry fermentation after depulping.
