Overview
The property is located in Villa Canales, place near Guatemala City.
El Mirador could be considering a young coffee plantation, since it has
plants from 1 to 15 years old. It has an extension of 42 hectares, of
which 90% are dedicated to produce quality coffee.
Property was funded on 1993, by his current owner Mr. Néstor Salazar,
who it initiated with a small extension, later he acquired other lands
from La Esperancita farm, to complete 42 hectares to produce coffee.
El Mirador, is a property environmentally blessed, since it has a
water source, that is covered by a tunnel of 40 meters in length,
illuminated, that is supervised periodically. We also have a beautiful
waterfall, 12 meters high approximately, surrounded by natural and
wonderful forests.
Our coffee plantation is sustainable; all coffee plants used are
produce in El Mirador, seeding with our own seed. The soil is prepared
with organic fertilizer; every two years, organic fertilizer is applied.
Environment its an important topic for us, 10 months ago we begun a
project to produce lombricompost, using pulp from wet mill process and
worms, they are placed in a special space to capture humic acids, to use
it like foliar fertilizer.
We process our coffee in an ecological wet mill, with water
recirculation, and we also have a water treatment plant. All the coffee
produced in our property is dried in the area of patios, that has an
extension of 6000 square meters.
