Gilmer Valle Arce // Amazonas, Peru

Finca Agua Blanca is part of a protected agroforestry system in Yambrasbamba.  Recently approved for coffee production, the age of the coffee trees are fairly young at around 6 years old. Gilmer Valle Arce purchased 3 hectares of land in 2000 and has been developing 2.5 hectares for growing coffee, beans, corn, and raising cattle. The remainder of the land is filled with native trees such as guava, citrus, and cedar.

Gilmer’s farm is organic certified.  This lot was picked, washed and dried on raised African beds under parabolic shade between 12-15 days.
