Los Aguacatones - Bourbon, Caturra - Natural
Los Aguacatones was purchased by the Morales family in
2009. It was used for picnicking and growing avocados, and
also for experimenting with growing coffee at 2,000 masl.
The experiment grew and the family concentrated on soil
health and reforesting the area with suitable shade trees for
the native coffee plants.
After placing top 10 in the Cup of Excellence, the family
decided to plant coffee with seeds from their original farm in
2011.
They found water to be a challenge, so set up rain water
catchment tanks and implemented irrigation throughout the
entire farm. Each plant is hydrated one drop of water at a time!
