Who we are
Welcome to La Joya! Located in the Datanlí - El Diablo mountain range in Jinotega, our farm enjoys a unique microclimate with 2,000 mm of annual rainfall and average temperature of 18°C. The farm spans a total of 590 hectares, of which 500 hectares are primary tropical cloud forest. This forest serves as a biological corridor for quetzals, sloths, toucans, parrots, and migratory birds. Biological control is used to manage coffee borer and rust. The farm incorporates compost made from coffee pulp and biochar to reduce use of herbicides and nitrogen fertilizers, reducing the carbon footprint. Coffee cherries are processed in a Penagos wet mill with mechanical mucilage removal, using minimal water. The cherries are then 100% sun-dried for slow drying process. The farm is Rainforest Alliance certified. Additionally, the local community benefits from training in bird watching to enhance biodiversity conservation.
