The story
Sources place the farm’s beginning in the late 1970s: Counter Culture says Juan Alarcón planted a small plot in 1978, while Ozone traces the family move and first planting to Don José Alarcón and Doña Zobeida Coronel in 1976. The operation expanded parcel by parcel for later generations.
Challenges
The farm is located in a remote area of San José del Alto, which presents logistical difficulties for operations.
Innovations
Shared wet-mill quality control, phased renovation and replanting, biodiversity restoration, native shade-tree planting, and experimentation with rarer Peruvian planting material.

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.
