Finca El Roble, from Pitalito, Huila.

Finca El Roble is located in the “vereda” El Mesón in Pitalito, Huila, Colombia, and is managed by Anayibe Ortíz, a 50-year-old, second-generation coffee grower. The farm consists of 4 hectares of land, with 3 hectares dedicated to growing coffee. It sits at an elevation of 1,650 m.a.s.l, and with around 15,000 coffee trees in production of the Pink Bourbon, Caturrón, and Colombia varieties.

Anayibe processes all of her coffee in a similar manner. Upon harvesting, she places the cherries in bags to ferment for 24 hours, and depulps afterwards. Parchment is then placed in bags again for a final fermentation of 36 hours, and later washed to remove the mucilage, and then finally placed on raised beds to dry for around 17 – 20 days, depending on the weather.

Innovation and Vision

Anayibe has been a coffee producer since she was 15. She inherited Finca El Roble from her parents, but she is paving her way as a coffee agropreneur, with the acquisition of two other farms: Finca La Loma and Finca El Triunfo. Both farms are en route to produce high quality coffee, with Anayibe at the helm! 
As her parents did with her, she is doing the same with her three children. They all have chores at the farm, helping with picking and processing as well as farm upkeep (are we sensing the rise of a coffee dynasty?)

Aside from coffee, Anayibe also produces corn, plantain and lentils, diversifying crops at her farm to avoid long-term erosion. Since 2024, we have been working alongside Finca El Roble and Anayibe’s vision and future has us really excited for what would be her next step!
