The farmers
The farm
We want to innovate and for this we have trained and trained, all our life we have been coffee producers, we are the third generation in my family producing coffee and we have already made changes and we want to continue making them in order to achieve long-term commercial ties with our clients.
We also carry out good practices in our farm, management of plant cover, planting on terraces to prevent erosion, planting shade trees and applying organic amendments to the soil.
I appreciate the trust and opportunity that has been given to us, we hope to improve and be more aware of the small details that will make our business and friendship relationship solid and lasting.
Proof that our hardwork is paying off is a pacamara lot that we evaluated this crop which obtained scores of 88 points in the SCAA format.
It has been very popular and has won local competitions.
Finca la Demetrio has participated in two events nationwide, which is called the best of Honduras “The late Harvest” farm the Demetrio participated in 2017 being in fifth place and in 2018 being in tenth place nationwide.

18/19 Harvest Report
Overall quality was very good and production was average. With lower prices continuing on for a few years now, regionally there is less fertilization and less farm upkeep like pruning, shade management, and leaf rust control.
in the Grower's words
One of the main challenges of the Demetrio farm is to innovate in processes of fermentation, benefitting and drying of coffee, using technologies that allow us to have scientific information and statistical data at hand that serve as a guarantee of quality to present to our customers .
Another great challenge that, together with my wife Yuliana, we are working on, is to experiment with new varieties of quality in the cup, such as Pacamara, Geisha and Maragogipe, the idea is to investigate which of these varieties adapt well to the area, are good productively and with quality in cup
