Farmer profile
🇵🇪Peru
Alarcón Coronel family
The Alarcón Coronel family operates Finca La Palestina, an 11-hectare coffee farm located in the San José del Alto district of Cajamarca, Peru. The farm consists of seven individual parcels managed by different family members, with processing centralized at a shared wet mill overseen by José and Anibal Alarcón. They cultivate a variety of coffee cultivars including Gesha, SL9, and Bourbon Marshell at elevations ranging from 1,200 to 2,100 meters above sea level. The family collaborates with Origin Coffee Lab to implement agricultural practices aimed at improving coffee quality and farm productivity.
Farm: Finca La Palestina →History
The family coffee operation began in 1976 when Don José Alarcón and Doña Zobeida Coronel moved to the Jaén province with their four children to establish their farm on land that was previously used as pasture. Today, three generations of the family reside in a shared compound and work collectively to manage the harvest and processing of their coffee crops.
