MORE INFO Hacienda Sonora sits at the foot of the Poas Volcano.
The farm operates on 100% renewable energy generated by a hydroelectric generator that transforms rushing rivers into energy.
The energy fuels the wet and dry mills and provides free electricity for everyone living and working on the farm.
On the whole, Hacienda Sonora has shared its success generously, paying fair wages to all workers and bolstering the local community economy.

The farm and its mill cover approximately 100 hectares.
Of those, 45 hectares are devoted to shaded coffee lands. Coffee plants are surrounded by exotic trees and other native vegetation.
This biodiversity promotes soil health and maintains the nutrient-rich soil that helps grow dense, delicious cherry.

After selective handpicking, ripe cherry is laid to dry on either the farm’s raised beds or its patio where it is turned frequently to promote even drying.

Caturra, a coffee variety known for its short, compact stature, is a natural mutation of Bourbon. It was first discovered in Minas Gerais, Brazil around
1915. The variety is the result of the mutation in a single gene of the Bourbon variety that made the plant smaller but still high yielding. As it spread, Caturra enabled higher-density coffee cultivation.
