It is here, in the community of Buenos Aires in the Dipilto municipality where Finca Las Hortensias is situated. Ana María Albir inherited the farm from her father, who had been growing coffee for nearly 50 years. The farm is named after a beautiful flower that thrives in these mountains of Nicaragua.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe organization was started in 2014 by sisters Ana and Martha Albir, who have been involved with growing coffee their whole lives. As third generation coffee producers, they understand the complexities of market access and ensuring producers receive a liveable income. They constructed a wet and dry mill to help producers with processing and sales. The farm is broken up into lots based on altitude and area.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1610\/6327\/files\/IzoteNicaragua_480x480.jpg?v=1709660458\" style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 1rem; float: right;\" width=\"332\" height=\"221\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e This specific lot is called El Izote, the name of the plant bordering the farm.

At the mill, the coffee is evenly dispersed on raised beds to dry for three days in the open sun, 20 days under shade, and a final three days in the sun.
