Colombia Finca Balvanera

Unavailable About Profile We have been buying coffee from Finca Balvanera for over a decade now. First from José Yepes, and after his death in 2020, from his daughter Magaly del Carmen Yepes Trejos. Over the last six years, Magaly has made Balvanera her own, taking time in 2022 to travel to Huila to visit three farmers we work with there and learn how to develop her land and coffee growing and processing skills. The land she inherited from her father did not have processing facilities, a coffee nursery, or a farmhouse. Over the last few years, Magaly has completed her own coffee nursery and started building a house and processing station. She hopes to complete this project in 2026. Building a new washing station is a terrific opportunity for Magaly, she has been able to apply knowledge from a variety of sources, including her own experience, in the build design. We look forward to seeing her new facilities later in the year.
