Finca La María has been producing coffee since 1945. The farm has been passed from one generation to another one throughout the years. It belonged to Gustavo Taborda, Adolfo’s father during a period of 20 years from 1993 to 2013. Gustavo Taborda then sold the farm to his son Adolfo Taborda in 2013.
Their extended experience and many advantages on the good conditions of the soil have helped Adolfo and his family develop an exceptional coffee that deserves to be shown and recognized as such. As well as his farm, Adolfo and his family are responsible and disciplined people full of love and pride for what they do, is that why their dedication and hard work deserves to be compensated in a fair way.
In addition to the coffee, Adolfo also plants plantain, banana, guanabana, orange, mandarin and lemon trees in order to provide shade for the coffee plantation and get an additional source of income for the family during the off harvest season. He has a good amount of other kinds of trees as well.
No pesticides or insecticides are used at Finca La Maria on the harvesting or processing of the coffee cherries. Organic compost made at the farm is commonly used on the farming process and clean water is used for washing the beans.
