The Reforest Project: Planting Seeds of Change
Our Reforest Project has the objective of planting 17.000 native trees throughout the northern Tolima and South of Caldas regions in Colombia. Starting with an initial 200 trees on the farms of 30 local coffee producers near El Vergel Estate, our farm located in Fresno, Tolima, we’re working to revitalize coffee landscapes and foster a healthier ecosystem. Through reforestation and sustainable farming practices, we’re building resilience to climate change while empowering coffee growers to adapt to evolving environmental conditions. This initiative offers a hopeful vision for the future of coffee in Colombia.
