FINCA ALATAMIRA STORY
Coffee for Franco Alexis Garzón is not just a crop that he grows on his farm, it is a way of life. Coffee has allowed Franco Alexis and his family to improve the quality of their lives, and because of this Franco pays coffee back by taking very special care of his coffee trees and by making sure his farm infrastructure is in perfect condition. He was born in the countryside, and has always been surrounded by coffee as he comes from a coffee growing family. Franco Alexis and his wife have dedicated themselves to growing coffee for 30 years and they have seen the benefit of producing specialty coffee. Through their hard work they have produced great quality coffees and have received the extra income that comes with it. Over time, Franco has been able to improve his practices and contribute to the conservation of the environment, he intends on continuing this through learning and trial and error. He loves to try new experiments and explore new ways of producing specialty coffee. He is currently trying to grow new varieties such as Pink Bourbon, Typica, Tabi, etc.
Franco Alexis is a very passionate coffee grower, committed to the innovation and improvement of his farm and coffee infrastructure. His family’s contribution on the farm has been the key to Franco Alexis’ success. The work that his wife and sons do around the farm is essential for having great coffees. Finca Altamira is beautiful family business!
