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.
