The Small Holder Farmers Farm
This SHG regional selection is sourced from smallholder farmers in Huatusco (Wa-tu-scoo), in the state of Veracruz. The farmers in this region deliver ripe cherry to our wetmill for central processing. The majority are small farmers of 1 ha and medium farmers of 18 hectares (avg). Altitudes range between 1,100 and 1,450masl, while varietals include Colombia, Costa Rica, Sarchminor, Oro Azteca and even the occasional Gesha and Marsellesa.
The Huatusco, Veracruz Region
When driving to Huastusco from Mexico City or Puebla, most of the journey is above the coffee line since this part of Mexico is full of high mountains. While the views can be breathtaking, it is simply too high and cold for coffee to grow. Upon arrival at Huatusco, the scenery and environment change, becoming tropical and humid during the daytime, but also having very cold temperatures throughout the night. Coffee is produced in the central mountainous region of the state of Veracruz (Huatusco and surrounding municipalities).
