Ten days on a coffee farm in Huila

Every year I try to visit at least one of the farms we buy from. This year it was La Esperanza, the Ortiz family farm in southern Colombia.

Picking cherry

Only the ripest red cherries are picked, by hand, on slopes so steep you need to hold on to the trees.

Why price matters

We pay the Ortiz family 70% more than the Fairtrade minimum. It means they can invest in drying beds and pay pickers fairly.

Good coffee starts with a fair price.
