The farm Los Angeles

The farm is a true refuge for wildlife, manual weeding practices require extra effort. Finca Los Angeles is self-sufficient as it has multiple rainwater tanks that feed the plantation, in the center of the property is also an impeccable drying center for cacao and coffee. The central house where Don Lenny and Stephanie live is a true paradise, just steps away from their new warehouse where they store their cacao, quality is guaranteed in every detail.
