Finca Buena Vista is owned by Eneil Bayona and is located in the village of Minca. Eneil loves to produce coffee; it’s been in his family as long as he can remember. It hasn’t always been easy though, as he’d gotten discouraged by low coffee prices. Since then, he’s worked hard to make sure his coffee is certified as organic, which has gotten him a much higher premium that he uses to continually re-invest in production and improvement. Eneil is heavily involved in the region and works with neighboring producers to pilot new planting programs and test new varietals.
Bird-friendly coffee refers to a certification that ensures coffee is produced in a manner that supports the conservation of bird habitats and promotes biodiversity. It involves cultivating coffee under shade trees, which provides a natural habitat for birds and contributes to sustainable farming practices.
