Farmer profile
🇵🇪Peru
Valle Inca
CAC Valle Inca is a cooperative of just over 100 growers around Calca in Peru's Cusco region, including farmers in the Yanatile and Lares river valleys. Jose Prudencio leads the collective and coordinates storage, transportation, quality assessment, and lot organization.
History
Counter Culture says the group operated informally for several years before Prudencio formally organized the cooperative in 2020. Other coffee-trade documentation dates Valle Inca's founding to 2015, so the difference is preserved rather than silently resolved.
Published coffees linked to Valle Inca
A producer may be listed for one explicitly documented component of a blend, not the entire coffee. These catalog relationships do not independently verify every lot or harvest. Check the individual coffee profiles and original research sources.
