David Rodriguez Edelweiss Farm

Ten years ago, David and his wife Silvia decided to buy the farm. They chose to name it Edelweiss in memory of Silvia’s father, to keep alive the German legacy that is part of the family. It was a cattle farm and no coffee but with enough potential for an experienced entrepreneur like David. After ups and downs, learning by trial and error, David now have a team of people that is helping him produce excellent coffee. His goal is to share the coffee knowledge with his neighbors and to put this region on the specialty coffee map of the world.

Farm

San Francisco, Cundinamarca, Colombia


The farm has an area of 13 Ha. It has 18000 Castillo producing coffee plants plus 7200 ready for production next year. David is now experimenting with Geisha variety. The farm has small quantities of several other products such as avocados, tomatoes and sugar cane, as well as different kinds of fruit trees that provide shade to the coffee plants. Every month a 150 year old horse-powered mill is used to process the sugar cane into a whole cane sugar called panela to anela to be distributed between the farm employees and local charities.
