We, the 235+ members who together form Cafesmo, have formalized our cooperation in 2016. Our individual fincas are relatively small, most of them ranging from 2 to 12 hectares.
All our fincas are FTO certified and we offer an array of specialty profiles. Our region - Ocotepeque - is known for its rich soil and perfect altitude range to grow unique, richly flavored coffees. We are convinced that Mercedes and Ocotepeque will continue to gain in fame over the next few years, and deservedly so.
Most of our finca’s are located between 1,200 and 1,600 meters. Thanks to this varied topography, we have a long harvest season, that starts late October and lasts until March.
Varieties include Pacas, Lempira, Parainema, Catuaí, Obatá, Colombia, IHCAFE90…
We have young people as well as less young members, women and men, someone who is a microbiologist, and one who has been an elementary school teacher.
Together, we stand for ‘diversity and quality’, together we stand strong.
