This new coffee from Honduras is from the CAFESMO Coop whos slogan is “diversity and quality”, which, according to their founder, Hidardo Hernández, should apply to a coop’s people and daily life as much as it should apply to its product.

CAFESMO’s 280 farmer associates grew up, like Hidardo, in Ocotepeque, and have a vested interest in the continuation of coffee farming as a sustainable family business in every way possible.

Farms among associates range from below 1000 meters to above 1900 meters in altitude and from 2-12 hectares in size, and often grow different blends of plantains, mangos, citrus, avocado, corn, beans, chiles, carrots, and more.

The result of such diverse membership is a long, gradual harvest season, months longer than the average cooperative.
