Finca Providencia de Jeshua is located in La Argentina, Huila, Colombia, and managed by Fabian Acevedo, a 34 year-old, third-generation coffee grower. The farm consists of 8 hectares of land and sits at an elevation of 1650 m.a.s.l, with around 37,000 coffee trees in production of the Colombia, Pink Bourbon, Java, Geisha and Cenicafé 1 varieties.

Fabian processes his coffee by harvesting the ripest cherries and leaving them to dry ferment overnight in open tanks. Cherries are then de-pulped and placed in sealed barrels to ferment for an additional 40 hours, after which the parchment is washed and dried on raised beds for up to 18 days, depending on the weather.

Fabian Acevedo is the commercial spearhead of Finca Providencia de Jeshua. His grandfather bought the land in the 1950s and ever since, the farm has grown both in size and in personnel. 

Now, the farm is a family operation, with Fabian’s father at the helm of processing, and his brothers helping with the farm’s upkeep, while he commercializes the family’s craft.

Aside from coffee, they also grow on the farm lentils and plantain, and they are planning to grow the amazing Papayo variety within its borders.
