Rancho Grande, Avirama, Paez, Cauca - Brazil

Coffee production began at the Rancho Grande Farm in 1933, when Mr. Aneite Reis in-herited 5 hectares of crops to start production from. Today, the farm is run by José Carlos Reis and his son Flávio (Fafa) Reis, both son and grandson of Mr. Aneite. The farm also has many cows for dairy and meat production. The mission of the farm is to responsibly produce coffee of the highest possible quality without neglecting the importance of protecting the environment and the caring for the well-being of its employees. A number of employees live on the farm in houses provided with subsidised electricity and food.

Comepcafe Coop, Piendamo, Cauca, Colombia

The Municipality of Paez in Cauca is an area of land that sits high on a Colombian plateau called the 'Macizo Colombiano'. This area is perfect for growing specialty coffee as altitudes reach over 2000 masl. Coffee was introduced here at the end of the 18th Century in the Indigenous Reservation of Vitonco. Now it is the main source of income for these communities especially as the region has begun to open with the settling of the violence and civil war..
