70ha farm run by the Sanchez family. Each year they process 100 tonnes of green coffee beans, which represents approximately 500 tonnes of coffee cherries. That's the kind of work the seven siblings of the Sanchez family take care of on the farm and in the mill.
Costa Rica is a country with good infrastructure, which is one of the reasons why this family farm is incomparable to other farms in Guatemala or Peru, for example. The coffee growing areas around the capital San José are very diverse and the microclimate is different. Tarazzu, where the beans come from, is an area of high altitude and steep green hillsides. The processing station works 24 hours a day, up to 22 hours a day, during the harvest . The remaining two hours are dedicated to cleaning the machines.
The Sanchez family is involved in the Bean Vozayage project, which connects farmers from all over the country so they can strengthen their position in the market and have the opportunity to educate and improve themselves. The program focuses on ecology, conservation of Costa Rica's unique ecosystems and biodiversity.
