Yanacocha
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
Yanacocha is a small 2.5-hectare farm located in the Puno region of Peru. It is managed by producer Justina Ortiz Soncco, who grew up on a family coffee farm and continues the tradition today.
Challenges
The farm operates in remote and challenging conditions within the Peruvian mountains, requiring careful management of the diverse ecosystem to maintain crop health.
Innovations
The farm utilizes organic fertilizers prepared on-site using coffee cherry husks to create a balanced and sustainable ecosystem.
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.
Research sources & verification
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.
