Small hold farmers

Small hold farmers in Colombia source their coffees from the prominent southern growing regions of Huila, Cauca, and Nariño. Cultivation across these farms typically occurs within an altitude band of 1300 to 1800 meters above sea level.

The varietal landscape represented in the catalog features traditional cultivars such as Caturra and Castillo, alongside an unspecified other variety. These foundational regional varieties form the basis of the offerings attributed to this group.

The process portfolio observed in the catalog consists entirely of the washed method. This traditional approach is applied to prepare the lots for both filter and espresso profiles.

The catalog footprint for these small hold farmers includes representation by a single roaster, Inglewood Coffee Roasters. The index currently tracks two coffees from this producer group, with harvest and lot data reflecting their collaboration with this roaster.

Recent catalog examples include Colombia Cumbia Filter and Colombia Cumbia Espresso Roast, both processed as washed coffees utilizing Caturra, Castillo, and in the espresso offering, other varieties. These lots illustrate the application of traditional processing to standard regional cultivars.

The work of these small hold farmers centers on supplying conventional washed coffees from multiple southern departments in Colombia through established roaster partnerships.
