The Coffee Story:

The farm was acquired by Don Florencio Modesto Argueta Villatoro on March 23, 1954, from the municipality of San Pedro Necta, Huehuetenango, his first plantations were of varieties such as typica, bourbon and Maragogipe, they were planted with distances of 2meters between plant and 2 meters between streets, when Don Modesto passed away in 1978, the second generation of the family took charge of managing the Argueta farm, Don Álvaro Rene, Erwin Modesto and Magnolia Argueta Figueroa; When the farm was divided in 2000, Erwin Modesto Argueta Figueroa decided to incorporate new varieties of coffee by sowing, caturra, catuai and pache verde; When Erwin Modesto died in 2004, the farm passed into the hands of his son and third generation of coffee growers. In 2015, after many setbacks and due to the difficulty that coffee rust presented, they had the need to look for new opportunities to sell coffee with the issue of quality, a new wave of coffee came to them and they decided to participate in the competition of regional coffees promoted by Anacafé, obtaining the 4th Place. From that moment on, they decided to focus their efforts on making their coffee known by participating in different national and international competitions.
