Every coffee bean that comes out of the farm has to have the best quality possible and it has to be produced sustainably. Every board foot of lumber has to have the best quality as well, and be produced through the most sustainable management, and all the legal permits and certifications available.

We produce the best possible coffee quality with the highest sustainability mindset, designed to be able to maintain it in the same way, through the coming years.

San José Ocaña is located in San Juan Sacatepéquez, Guatemala. It has a total of 175 hectares, 85 hectares for coffee and the rest for forestry and conservation. The altitude ranges from 1905 to 1955 meters above sea level. Its average rainfall is 1400 millimeters a year. For shade we use mostly Grevillea or Silk Oak and native species.

San Jose Ocaña has been in the family for over 100 years (it was founded in 1910), and has
always been a sustainable agricultural operation, which started mainly a forestry business
activity. In time, San José Ocaña evolved to be a Fine Coffee producing farm, serving mostly the
high end specialty coffee market. This is mainly as result of the farm´s high altitude, good
clayish soils and varietals. In addition, the farm takes pride in being fully sustainable. In other
words, everything that is produced in San José Ocaña is used to ensure the finest quality of
specialty coffee. This feat is accomplished by our hardworking helpers and our constant
processes of innovation.
​Furthermore, all areas that do not fully produce coffee are focused on forestry. In these areas,
both native and planted Native Species are grown and managed through very thorough standards,
with the purpose of maintaining the delicate balance within the ecosystem. All while working
within government approved practices and regulations, imposed by the National Institute of
Forestry (INAB), and The National Coffee Association.
