The farm Santa Isabel
Finca Santa Isabel was founded in 1899. It is located in the village of Pueblo Nuevo Viñas. Coffee is grown here in the shade of endemic species in an organic / biodynamic system.
After being hit by rust, the owners decided to plant resistant arabica and robusta varieties. The decision was also made to ban chemicals and turn to organic farming throughout the farm. The farm is fully equipped to produce high-quality washed, honey and natural coffee.
Guided by his principles of environmental preservation, owner Alex Keller began exploring biodynamic practices to improve the health and quality of his coffees. Coffee is not the only activity on the farm. Alex also grows turmeric, citrus and bamboo, and raises sheep and bees to produce honey.
Finca Santa Isabel also contributes to the upkeep of a school for over 300 pupils, a soccer pitch and a clinic for its staff. It has also supported the municipality with road maintenance and electrical power projects.

A few words about Alex Keller
Alex Keller is the owner of the Santa Isabel family farm. He is responsible for processing, quality and organic management of the farm. His brother oversees the logistics. They are highly erudite, closely following every stage of production, from the soil to the process, so that they can control and adjust the quality of their coffees and their taste profiles.
Their innovative personalities and forward-thinking practices have led them to switch from traditional farming practices to certified organic practices, which they have been perfecting since 2010. However, four years ago, they decided to go one step further by converting their farm to fully biodynamic production. Since taking over the farm's operations, they have endeavoured to unite the environmental and social components of the farm and diversify its production to include different genetic strains to ensure its long-term viability.
To support them, the farm employs 15 people year-round. At harvest time, the farm, like the rest of the country, faces a significant labour shortage.
