The Hidden Gems From the Cloud Forest of Panama
In Harmony with Nature
The environmental policies of the farm have banned the use of herbicides or insecticides. Fertilizers are applied strategically in order to maintain necessary plant nutrition in soil.
Happy Team means Great Coffee
Finca La Mula pays workers well above the Panamanian minimum wage and includes added premiums for health
care and other social benefits. The two workers employed on the farm live year round on the property and are given food packages during the year for added health benefit.
Shade Grown
This shade keeps the soil moist, reduces the average
temperatures which leads to longer maturation for coffee cherries, and negates the need for irrigation. The soil is very high in organic matter and the farm is surrounded by untouched forest land.
Low Water Impact
Finca La Mula has a conservation program regarding water that involves drawing it for local consumption from a nearby stream, and taking coffee to be processed at the nearby Finca Hartmann farm.
