The family’s focus has always been on always having the same quality of coffee year after year, which is why the traceability within the farm is very important from planting or pruning within our coffee plantation until the time of harvest when they select the coffee with most accurate Brix degrees and this gives them greater certainty when it comes to quality.

The farm La Labor
The history of the farm goes back to Francisco's great-grandfather, who decided to leave the city for political reasons. Everyone thought he was crazy, but almost 100 years later, the coffee farm is still in the family!
Today, La Labor is owned by Francisco Quezada Montenegro! For "Chespi", as his friends call him, the sustainability of his farm is very important. He invests a large part of his income in rehabilitation and renovation to keep the coffee trees and the entire farm ecosystem alive. The wet mill at La Labor uses a Pinalense machine. The wet mill is designed to use almost 7 times less water than a traditional wet mill.
La Labor is one of the projects closest to his heart. Because of its unique location, he decided to save this last urban farm by converting most of its production to speciality coffee.
