Guatemala La Morena Huehuetenango

Huehuetenango coffee is grown at heights up to 6,500 feet (2,000masl) in dry and frost-free conditions. By necessity, farmers in this highly remote area often set up their own mills along the many rivers to process their coffee. The La Morena project began with the aim of giving female growers access to a global supply chain. The initiative now proudly includes 800 women farmers spanning the coffee-growing regions of Huehuetenango and Baja Verapaz. What started as a micro-lot of about 2,000 lbs. of coffee has blossomed into a platform with incredible global reach.
