About: Finca Buenos Aires, nestled in the scenic Dipilto Mountains of northern Nicaragua near the Honduran border, stands as a testament to the Valladárez family's dedication to coffee excellence. Established by Luis Emilio Valladárez over 50 years ago, this coffee farm spans 75 hectares, with varieties like Maracaturra, Maragogipe, Java, Villa Sarchi, and Caturra cultivated between altitudes of 1200 to 1450 masl.
Under the management of Luis's son, Olman Valladárez, the farm has flourished, earning accolades in competitions like the Cup of Excellence. Most recently, Finca Buenos Aires secured second place with a natural processed Maracaturra 2023 Cup of Excellence, and a sister farm, Los Alpes, took first place with a washed Geisha.
Beyond coffee, the Valladárez family's commitment extends to community well-being, sponsoring public health campaigns and organising celebratory events. The philosophy at Finca Buenos Aires revolves around creating a sustainable and familial atmosphere, where everyone involved, from collaborators to consumers, enjoys the fruits of their labour.
