Driftaway Coffee
Brooklyn, NY, USA
Finca Los Angeles sits on the west side of the village of Hoja Blanca in Huehuetenango, Guatemala, rising from about 1500 meters all the way up to 1800 meters (about 5900 feet), and growing on two sides of a sheer ridgeline. The land is owned by Arturo Villatoro, and managed by his son, Vielmann Vides Villatoro Castillo. Vielmann spent some time picking fruit in California, and this really gave him perspective on how much pickers are being paid in Guatemala. After returning from California to run Finca Los Angeles, Vielmann bought more land to grow coffee, and has since built more drying patios and worker housing.
