He started with his farm in Colombia, Finca Santuario, where he focussed on sustainability, biodiversity and meticulous processing to improve quality. It proved very successful and he has since expanded his operation to Costa Rica, Mexico and Brazil under the banner of the Santuario Project. The Ixhuatlán Processing Centre is the hub of the Santuario Project in Mexico. The Centre works with small-holder farmers from the surrounding area and focuses on producing very high-quality specialty lots.
