Cinco de Junio cooperative
The Cinco de Junio cooperative is located in the Las Sabanas region of the Madriz department in Nicaragua. Comprised of approximately 130 smallholder farmers, the group has maintained a partnership with Counter Culture Coffee since 2009. The cooperative focuses on organic coffee production and has utilized grant funding to upgrade farm infrastructure and wet mills. Members have navigated significant challenges, including the impact of Coffee Leaf Rust and regional political instability, by prioritizing quality and collective resilience.
History
Counter Culture’s relationship began in 2009. A member’s coffee placed second in the 2010 Nicaragua Cup of Excellence, and the partnership continued through the regional coffee-leaf-rust crisis and later recovery.
