History of the Farm

Finca Loma Alta has its beginning in the 80s, with an initial hectare, currently has 5 hectares in production, during these years to pass by different processes in which the most significant has been to decrease the initial cultivation, such as the caturra, Bourbon, to pass to new varieties such as catimores, due to the problems caused by diseases such as roya. In this process, the varieties (pacamara) are improving and initial varieties such as bear and red catuai areined with effort. Finca Loma Alta has a temperate climate, which has been a little affected lately by climate change.
