Transito Bolivar HB EP

Farm: Finca Transito Bolivar 
Producer: Stephanie Stillman 
Location: Colomba, Quetzaltenango, Guatemala.

 Near the Santiaguito volcano Finca Transito Bolivar is a third-generation family business managed by women. Our grandfather bought the farm in 1940 and it has been part of the family ever since. The farm sits right below the mountains that surround the volcano Santiaguito, which provides generous amounts of ash that serve as a natural fertilizer. The mountains provide a stable humid microclimate.  We have currently renovated 70% of our coffee trees with Catuai, Caturra, Catimor and Sarchimor varieties. In the renovated areas, the farm has kept a variety of native and old trees for shade and has planted Inga trees to fix nitrogen in the soil,  We strongly believe in protecting and promoting diversity of flora and fauna and the adequate use of natural resources. The farm is a member of the Women in Coffee Association.

*Coffee to be exported in GrainTech bags.
