Farm Select

Part of our stratified buying approach, Farm Select Coffees come from individual farms. These are excellent, sometimes larger, lots of coffee that didn’t quite make it to microlot quality but are perfect for the roaster that values more traceability in their offerings along with an elevated cup profile. Supporting farm select coffees allows individual coffee farmers to directly receive monetary impact from the quality premiums paid for these coffees.

Ernelio Ortiz

Ernelio Ortiz owns and managed Finca El Pedrero in the Montecillos region of Honduras.

This 12 hectare farm is almost completely planted in coffee, with some smaller sections also have Aguacate or Avocado trees. Ernelio estimates he has roughly 56,000 coffee trees, mostly Catuai and IHCAFE 90 varieties.

Ernelio spoke to us about his gratitude for coffee and how it has improved the quality of life for his family. He believes that his care for the environment on his farm has led to increased quality production and better prices for his coffee.
