Beatriz Gomez Villa Lara Farm

Beatriz is a woman who knows what she wants and works until she gets it in a very calm and smooth way. For a long time, she worked in logistics for a pharm company but she was always longing for applying her admin skills in her own project. During that time, her health was getting weaker, too much stress of the city’s life. When her husband decided to buy the farm, she was not sure about changing her life that drastically but as soon as she made that decision and move to the farm, her health improve radically and now she is giving all her energy and focus to the coffee farm. They are happy with the results and with many more plans for the future.

Coffee

Sensory Jouney

Delicate buttery sensation. Notes of walnuts and raisins in aroma and cup. Medium body. Dark chocolate and caramel flavor linger in the mouth in a delicious after taste.

Farm

Guaduas, Cundinamarca, Colombia


When Jonathan bought the Villa Lara farm, it was well overtaken by vegetation, he was planning to have cattle but then he received a loan offer from the Colombian Coffee Federation for planting coffee. It was more appealing to him because of his farming background, so Jonathan started his adventure in the coffee world. The farm has an area of 32 ha and 25000 coffee plants. There are plantains trees that give shade to the coffee plants.
