Description
HONDURAS FINCA LAS MORAS
Nestled in the hills of Siguatepeque in the Comayagua department, Finca Las Moras is a farm that serves a dual purpose: first as a training lab where field techs and agronomists demonstrate best practices coffee farming for visiting producers. Second, as a functional farm that produces coffee, experiments with different coffee varietals and tests out new processing methods.
The name Siguatepeque is made up of two words in Nahuatl, Cihuatl: Woman and Tepec: Mount, the mount of women. The climate is mild and there are three seasons. Cool winds flow down from the local Calanterique forest and from the immense Cordillera Montecillos, a Biological Reserve on the southern edge of the valley. Even in the hot season air conditioning is unnecessary, with a fan almost always being enough. In the winter heating is rarely needed.
