Silvia and her husband Eudoro Guillen bought the San Jose farm in 1965. It is a 23 hectare farm that runs from 1,250 to 1,450 masl with sandy loam soil and plenty of shade trees amongst them: guavas, bananas and citruses. Once the cherries are harvested they are either pulped on the farm and taken as wet parchment to Cafetos de Segovia for honeys and washed lots.

In 2015, a local producer family realised that the prices paid for coffee cherries in the region were too low and that they could produce high-quality coffee on their own farm. They decided to create a dry mill to add value to their product, and that mill is now run by sisters Martha and Ana, along with their team. The family own a few farms that were inherited from Martha and Ana’s father. Like many properties in the area (in the north, bordering Honduras), the story of the farms’ ownership is a complex one. From 1975-1979 the Nicaraguan revolution hit the entire country, but it was even more intense at the Honduran border, forcing the family to emigrate to the USA. They returned to Ocotal six years later to find that their house and much of their farmland had been seized by the government. Only the house was returned to them – they had lost more than 100 manzanas (70ha) of coffee farm.
