Holguin Family - Colombia

The Fellows’ Farms Program, an Inmaculada Coffee Farms initiative, aims to improve farmers’ quality of life by enhancing their agronomical and picking practices. This is achieved by combining it with Inmaculada’s expertise and improving their price point, enabling them to meet specialty coffee standards. The program also aims to showcase the producers to international markets with full traceability, ensuring their hard work and effort are recognized. This collaborative approach allows them to deliver excellent coffees from various neighboring producers.

They are currently collaborating with a group of farmers in the municipalities of Tambo, Piendamó, and Caldono in the Cauca department. Together, they account for around 60 hectares of Colombian common varieties planted in an agroforestry concept with trees and shrubs, providing protection for their crops against adverse weather conditions.
