Nestled in the picturesque hills of Ihuamaca within Peru’s Cajamarca region, Finca El Palto is a true labour of love for David Ojeda. What started as a modest one-hectare plot has grown into a thriving 3.5-hectare family legacy. The coffee cultivation process here is both meticulous and traditional. David and his large family selectively hand-pick each cherry, fermentation is carried out for 30 hours in bags, while washing is performed in a vat tank. Drying takes place in specialized drying modules over a period of 15 to 20 days, allowing the beans to develop their full flavour potential. The farm benefits from sustainable practices such as machete weeding and natural fertilizers. for additional income the family also raise cattle and farm chickens, which complement the family’s nutrition and sustainability goals.
