Hacienda Sonora is located at the foot of Poás volcano, where it operates thanks to 100% renewable energy generated from water streams. The flowing rivers power a hydroelectric plant that supplies the farm with energy - not only for the wet and dry mills, but also for everyone who lives and works on the farm. In this way, Hacienda Sonora cares for its people not only through fair wages, but also by supporting the local community.
The farm covers approximately 100 hectares of land, of which 45 hectares are coffee plantations shaded by exotic trees and native vegetation. This diversity of plants makes the soil rich in nutrients and healthy, which benefits the growth of dense, juicy coffee cherries.
The remainder of the farm includes a 35-hectare wild forest reserve and 20 hectares of sugar cane cultivation, a tradition that has lasted at Hacienda Sonora for more than 150 years.
The farm also includes its own micro-mill, which allows it to separate the different types of coffee and create unique microlots. The mill is located next to a historic sugar mill that has been in operation for over 150 years.
The cascara you will find here comes from coffees processed using the Natural method. The ripe coffee cherries are hand-picked, thoroughly washed and then dried on raised beds or on the farm's terraces, where they are regularly turned over to dry evenly. After drying, they are stored for two months before being peeled in a dry mill and the skins preserved as cascara.
