THE STORY BEHIND

Hacienda Cafetalera La Pradera is a family-owned estate in Aratoca, Santander, that has received an Organic production certification. Four generations of the Daza Bautistas have been directly involved in the production, processing, and export of outstanding organic specialty coffee.

In the early 1970s Mr. Héctor Daza began the transformation of the family farm into a coffee paradise by planting various timber and fruit trees that served to create a beautiful shade canopy for the different varieties of coffee he cultivated. This was a start of a lifelong commitment to environmentally friendly practices at La Pradera. The 1980s were a challenging period, with low market prices and adverse meteorological conditions. However, through a commitment to environmentally friendly and quality-centred practices, the Dazas have managed to withstand the hardship and reaffirm their position, producing lots for the global market. Their rigorous production practices have been recognised through already mentioned Organic Certification, as well as Rainforest Alliance and Bird-friendly certifications.
