| Since 1903 the Lopez family has run Farm Los Papales. Located at up to 1450 meters above sea level in the mountains over Jinotega, Nicaragua, one of the most famous and well-known coffee producing regions of Nicaragua. A drive to their family’s farm is a drive straight into the clouds, where shade trees planted over 100 years ago tower over coffee trees, orchids, finches and other wildlife below. Almost half of the farm is left as natural jungle to protect the environment, springs of water, and congo monkey habitat. The farm is dedicated to maintaining Nicaragua’s natural jungle and has reforested thousands of trees since their family began growing coffee on the farm. Income from coffee is being used to make improvements to the local school, install a small health clinic, and renovate workers’ housing. Beans are wet processed on the farm late in Nicaragua’s traditional harvest period (due to a microclimate of colder temperatures and often heavy cloud-cover) and are sun-dried in a valley far below. Recent improvements to the farm include a sophisticated new wet mill installed by Colombian technicians, one of several improvements to allow the farm to obtain Rainforest Alliance certification, which is currently pending.
