Tierra Linda, a legacy of our ancestors that we want to keep alive.
The estate is located 15 km from Armenia. It is accessed via a secondary road (unpaved) in fair condition, starting at an altitude of 1500 meters (Armenia) and reaching 1900 meters above sea level (Vereda Canaán). Along this short journey, one experiences a transition from a warm climate to a cool and sometimes cold climate. The route offers the opportunity to enjoy beautiful natural landscapes surrounded by crops typical of the region, and to observe birds of various plumages and songs, as well as several water sources. The trip becomes a pleasant and unforgettable adventure. Visitors are amazed to encounter this topography with gentle slopes, resembling a plateau, offering an excellent 360° view. His father (Don Alfredo) acquired this estate in April 1986, after selling another coffee farm he owned in the municipality of Montenegro, Quindío. Upon his father's passing in 2003, his brother Hoover and him inheritedthe estate, with each of us receiving half of the property, approximately 50 cuadras or fanegadas, equivalent to about 30 hectares. At that time, they were a dairy farm on the estate. Years later, Alfredo decided to plant coffee on part of the estate, using shade trees, fruit trees, native species, banana and plantain plants, crops that are harvested and contribute to maintaining food security for his workers, and they even reach some small production in the local market.
When his father acquired the estate, it was named La Linda; locals in the region said that one of its first owners had named it this way because neighbors claimed it was the most beautiful estate in the entire territory.
After his father's passing and the subsequent partition, his brother Hoover inherited a portion, including the main house, and that part continued to be called La Linda. Alfredo decided to name my portion Tierra Linda to preserve the original name of the estate, and also because the land he inherited from his parents is simply beautiful.
