Farm Coffee

During 1967, the three Vindas brothers Eduardo, Leonel and Gerardo purchased the first hectares of land from a cattle farmer and continued producing milk and cheese for the 1,500 inhabitants of Palmichal.Two years later, Eduardo, Leonel and Gerardo started to grow the first coffee seedlings on the tremendous slopes of the Tacuotarí mountains, where Nobody else even dared to think of growing coffee on these spectacular slopes,but the Vindas’, convinced that the volcanic soil combined with the smooth, pacific-influence and relatively dry climate was ideal for coffee growing, continued to grow Caturra and Catuaí plants protecting the crystalline rivers and preventing the mountain borders from erosion.
