Situated in the mountain range of Montecillos, 16km away from the town of Marcala lies the coffee farm Entre Caminos. Meaning ‘between journeys’, this farm has been owned and managed by three generations of the Contreras family, and it was Fernando who first planted coffee trees on this land in 2012. Amongst the coffee trees, you will find a range of vegetables, herbs used to produce tea, and fruit trees that grow to house and feed the variety of birds that live in the area. Entre Caminos boasts a healthy and diverse biosphere, aimed at supporting the local bird and insect populations.

Producer Fernando Contreras first planted coffee trees on one hectare of land with the purpose of producing coffee in a way that was not detrimental to the local environment. He only processes the cherries using natural processing methods as it requires fewer natural resources to undertake the process than any other technique.

In addition to the environmental focus, Fernando is passionate about his coffee and his community. One of his primary motivations for growing coffee was to help people outside Honduras taste and smell the natural beauty of Marcala, hoping that they are “transported to our farm and they can enjoy the nature, the flowers, and the joy of people who harvest the coffee.”
