What we value

Our results go beyond numbers; they tell a story of transformation and growth. We've achieved significant ecological restoration on our farm, transforming pastures into thriving ecosystems rich in biodiversity. Migratory birds have returned, new tree species have flourished, and our streams now flow with clear water, creating a living, evolving ecosystem.

We've also fostered cultural changes in our community. Advanced technologies at Beneficio Los Molinos have provided employment and learning opportunities, helping many overcome illiteracy and acquire new skills. Our collaborators have grown professionally, thanks to these opportunities.

In conclusion, our results reflect our commitment to transformation and empowerment. We celebrate these achievements with gratitude and look forward to continuing our journey of success and sustainability together.

  • We ensure transparency and quality in the supply chain and pride ourselves on tracing every step of the process from seed to bean, providing a profound understanding of the origin and production proceses. This commitment allows us to make informed decisions that enhance quality. Our batch traceability strategy enables us to track the origin of each coffee batch, identify specific deficiencies, and recognize the contributions of our producers.

  • At our coffee farm, technological innovation drives our pursuit of quality and efficiency. Integrating cutting-edge technologies from cultivation to processing, activity tracking systems to monitor every farm activity in detail, aiding cost control and decision-making. Our post-harvest processing plant boasts state-of-the-art technology for milling and classification, ensuring consistency and quality. These innovations enhance resilience to climate change, create job opportunities, and assure our customers of our commitment to excellence.

  • Starting in the early 2000s, we transformed an open-air landfill into a community sports complex and adopted Rainforest Alliance certification for our coffee farm. We've led in climate-smart agricultural practices and social advocacy, despite challenges like inadequate infrastructure and limited healthcare. Our efforts have resulted in ecological restoration and a cultural shift towards sustainability. Through training programs, we've empowered local producers and improved agricultural practices. Granos la Fortaleza demonstrates how a commitment to sustainability can transform both a company and its community, promoting well-being and environmental care.
