Farm Details
Lot#: 12 Ronalddy Briceño Montecino - El Rancho
El Rancho El Rancho El Rancho
Farm: "El Rancho" - Dalia, Matagalpa

The farm belonged originally to my grandparents who devoted their entire life to the cultivation of coffee, there has been three generations; grandparents, my mother and then myself. The process is traditional, the farm is cleaned from April to May; the crop begins in November and ends in mid march. Pests are controlled with chemical solutions and organic chemicals are used when it is really the last option. Shade for the coffee trees is provided by Guabas and búcaro.

I try to control any pests and if persistant and as a last resort I use the least amount of chemicals and cut into its proper status (red) and is washed with clean water. To preserve the environment I do not allow the existence of non-organic material (glass, plastic, etc.), I do not allow the dirty water back into the river and prohibit any animal hunting activity in the farm.
