WELCOME!
Welcome to El Toledo!
Toledo coffee is a project that features coffee production in harmony with the environment. Here on the farm, we try to use natural resources to produce our organic coffee in a way that minimizes the impact on nature! To be able to reach this objective it is necessary to make a lot of changes to a typical coffee plantation-changes that we have implemented over the years and are glad we did.
First of all, an organic coffee plantation requires a different way of living and thinking about life. We cannot think that the most important thing is the money, because our health, our future, and the environment are priceless!
Once we achieved this change in our thinking, the next step was a matter of understanding and opening our eyes to everything we do in order to preserve our future and our health. In another words, we had to avoid using chemicals and damaging the environment in a way that could harm our health and put our future at risk! It is important to understand is nature, as simple and as complicated as it is! Nature acts wisely. It is able to make everything grow in harmony, however, when we try to control everything in our own way, we break all those functions using xtechniques that would make more problems instead of doing better!
Did you know people can grow organic products and still be against the environment?
We've learned so many things in our 20 years experience that we want to share with you! Now, our method of production is not only compliant with all the standards of organic farming in accordance with the certification we have. It's more than that. It's using the standards of nature to work with and not against it, and that is the principle by which we live and operate our plantation!
To get a better feel for what we´re about, please feel free to have a look at this video, which was created by a student who came to stay and work with us:
