Farmer profile
🇵🇪Peru
Alarcón Coronel family
The Alarcón Coronel family operates Finca La Palestina, a coffee farm located in the San José del Alto district of the Cajamarca region in northern Peru. Established in 1976 by Don José Alarcón and Doña Zobeida Coronel, the farm has grown into an eleven-hectare property managed by three generations of the family. The producers cultivate various coffee varietals including Gesha, SL9, and Bourbon, utilizing a centralized wet mill to process their harvests. Their agricultural approach emphasizes agroforestry and the reintroduction of native shade trees to maintain a balanced ecosystem.
