Despite its size, only 13 hectares are cultivated, with the remainder preserved as natural forest to protect local flora and fauna.The farm sits just behind the Ilamatepec Volcano, benefiting from rich volcanic soil and a climate ideal for coffee cultivation. The coffee is grown entirely under shade provided by native trees, contributing to its exceptional quality.

In line with sustainable practices, Finca Etiopia employs manual weeding using tools like machetes, avoiding chemical herbicides.Soil studies guide their nutrient management, and measures such as soil conservation work and water collection pits protect groundwater. The cherries are carefully tested for sweetness before harvest, ensuring only the best are selected for processing.
