Finca Oconor
Finca Oconor is a 67-hectare farm that was founded in 1992. It is owned by Isacio Javier Albir who inherited the farm over 30 years ago from his family. After conflict in Nicaragua in the 80's, the farm was restored with forest and fruit trees in 1994. An area of 10.9 hectares has been set aside for forest, environmental, and biodiversity protection. The farm provides employment for more than 180 people during the harvest season and around 25 workers from surrounding areas throughout the rest of the year.
The farm is located on the border of Honduras surrounded by a forest protection area. The farm's goal is to continue to consolidate and be a reference for quality coffee production processes in northern Nicaragua.
Washed coffee from the farm is picked ripe and then floated using upcycled water to sort out bad cherries. It is then dry-pulped and left to rest for 36 hours. After that period, it is washed and put in polypropylene bags to be sent to Cafetos de Segovia. This farm also uses Natural, Natural Anaerobic, Semi-washed, and other processes.
