Mexico

In the Motozintla area within the state of Chiapas in southern Mexico, there are high altitudes and rich soils ideal for coffee production. It is here where Finca San Antonio Chicharras has been growing coffee since the early 1900s. The land is diverse, situated in the Sierra Madre de Chiapas mountain range, growing both Arabica and Robusta coffee, in addition to a protected natural area of 20 hectares.

The farm utilizes agroforestry to grow coffee under a diverse shade of native trees. This area has high biodiversity, with an array of flora and fauna species. Growing coffee in conjunction with this nature is an important goal for the team at Finca San Antonio. There is also a nursery onsite, with the ability to house 500,000 plants, equipped with shade netting and a sprinkler system to carefully grow seedlings to plant throughout the farm in order to improve production.
