San José Ocaña
farm was founded in 1,623. Cornelio Lazo Arreaga bought the
faro and ever since 5 generations have produced coffee. Now
my sons are working on it.
In San José Ocaña,
owners promote good relations with workers. In fact, in the
middle of last century, they donated land (about 225 ha)
for people working in the farm and they founded there what
is actually Santa Fe Ocaña county.
Quality controls
are important in the farm. Visual controls, as well as humidity,
fermentation and drying process are part of a daily basis
routine. Coffee is wet milled and sun dried in patios. The
farm also has depulpers, a resttler and a pulp extractor.
As all Guatemalan farms, San José Ocaña has beautiful natural resources
and natural forests. It also has cows, horses and vegetables.
San José Ocaña is also awarded with Illy Café for
its quality.
