Our Story

Finca Las Gardenias is located high in the mountains, surrounded by a pristine natural environment. At the heart of the farm’s operations is a commitment to preserving nature. Eddy, the farm owner, is dedicated to maintaining the trees on the property and protecting the various animal and bird species that depend on them. He also ensures that there is no contamination of nearby spring water sources. In fact, the farm is home to Quetzals, the famously beautiful national bird of Guatemala.

To demonstrate its commitment to conserving Huehuetenango’s delicate ecosystems, the farm has pursued various environmental certifications, including Rainforest Alliance.

In addition to sustainability, maintaining high-quality coffee is a key priority for Eddy and his family. The farm experiments with exotic coffee varieties and different processing methods to highlight the unique potential of the region’s coffee. By carefully monitoring every stage of the coffee production process, Finca Las Gardenias consistently produces outstanding quality coffees.
