A coffee produced by biodynamic pioneers!
Finca Irlanda is the first Demeter-certified coffee farm. A coffee produced by biodynamic pioneers!
In the heart of Chiapas, the Peters family farm is an exception. Although the farm is now run by Alex Peters, it is his father, Walter, who is responsible for producing this coffee.
Surrounded by other more traditional farms, the difference in design between Finca Irlanda and its neighbours is striking. From the air, the vegetation appears denser and more diverse. A veritable biodiversity sanctuary.
Biodynamic farming is part of Finca Irlanda's DNA. Among the farm's agricultural practices is its natural fertiliser, made from coffee pulp when it is not being used to produce cascara. The lunar rhythms are also followed to determine the best time to plant, prune and care for the coffee trees, and to harvest the cherries.
