Award Winning Specialty Coffee
We've been getting a lot of work done on the farm over the last six months. It's all starting to show right about now. The crew housing is getting close. In the interior, bathrooms are in and mostly trim work and outfitting are left. Outside, the painting is done, and we're installing a new septic system and awaiting the solar energy system that will power lights and electricity for apartments and the processing warehouse.
Beyond housing, the farm itself is looking super healthy. In February, we had quite a few scrappy looking trees in several sections. Some of them looked almost windblown, they had lost so many leaves. We commissioned an agronomist to take soil samples from across the farm and make recommendations for specific formulas of nutrition for each lot. We fed the trees chicken manure, carbonized rice hulls, and compost and now they are lush with deep, green leaves. There are so many more cherries on each tree than there were last year. This rich health throughout the farm portends a higher yield and more flavorful coffees.
