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.

Francisco wants to continue to push the boundaries of speciality coffee and innovate by introducing new exotic varieties and investing in different fermentation and drying processes. His intention is to continually improve the quality of his coffees so that he can obtain better payment terms to maintain the farm and provide good working conditions for his staff.
