Harvest is complete and was unusually long this year, normally finished by early January. Some good pictures of the second and heaviest blossoms on the farm. Should be a good harvest next year when many of the young plants growing good. Several of the last pictures show the oldest coffee plants that have been pruned and with well established root systems they will produce a very good crop in two years time!

La cosecha está completa y fue inusualmente larga este año, normalmente termina a principios de enero. Algunas buenas fotos de las segundas y más pesadas flores de la granja. Debería ser una buena cosecha el próximo año cuando muchas de las plantas jóvenes crezcan bien. ¡Varias de las últimas fotografías muestran las plantas de café más antiguas que han sido podadas y con sistemas de raíces bien establecidos producirán una muy buena cosecha en dos años!

Just need to make a general post, I sold the US coffee roasting and sales Bussiness last year based out of Waldport, Oregon. The brand Catalina’s Coffee is still being sold in and around the Oregon coast and through Azure Standard. The new owners are buying coffee beans from a Broaker and the coffee is not connected to Finca Catalina in any way. I take great care in growing my coffee and there is a difference in quality over what you get from a Broaker who are buying container loads at a time.

Progress on the new drying building at the farm. One step closer to handling and processing my coffee without relying on the Benefico and having better quality control. All of the wood used in the construction is Black Walnut and was cut and milled on the farm, it is absolutely beautiful wood!

Avances en el nuevo edificio de secado de la finca. Un paso más cerca de manipular y procesar mi café sin depender del Benefico y tener un mejor control de calidad. Toda la madera utilizada en la construcción es nogal negro y fue cortada y molida en la granja, ¡es una madera absolutamente hermosa!

Pictures of some Honey processed coffee, Honey coffee is picked and processed through the pulper and fermented for 12 plus or minus hours and then removed from the fermenting tank and placed on the drying racks. Conventional processed coffees fermented and then rinsed or washed clean before placed on the drying racks. Planning on importing 5,000 pounds of Honey and the same in Natural. Natural coffee is picked and left in the transfer bags for some time and then placed on the drying racks. Both Honey and Natural will have a very distinct flavor and taste, more like an African as these two processing methods are used due to the lack of water resources.

An eye opening analysis by Carlos Torrebiarte of how the cost of buying a Toyota Land Cruiser compares with the price of green coffee via Perfect Daily Grind. Coffee producing nations and coffee growers have lost most of their purchasing power

Harvest is still going strong at the farm, several pictures of the new coffee plants that are two and three years old just loaded with ripe coffee cherries that were planted on some of the higher elevations of the farm.

La cosecha aún se está haciendo fuerte en la finca, varias fotos de las nuevas plantas de café que tienen dos y tres años de edad, simplemente cargadas con cerezas de café maduras que se plantaron en algunas de las elevaciones más altas de la finca.

Harvest is well underway at the farm and going good, getting the first real harvest from the new coffee plants we planted on the upper sections of the farm. Not as much rain as last year which is a good thing!

La cosecha está en marcha en la granja y va bien, obteniendo la primera cosecha real de las nuevas plantas de café que plantamos en las secciones superiores de la granja. No tanta lluvia como el año pasado, lo que es bueno!

All the new coffee plants are in the ground, a big job and very labor intensive. All the new plants were planted up on the highest part of the farm.

Todas las nuevas plantas de café están en el suelo, son un gran trabajo y requieren mucha mano de obra. Todas las plantas nuevas se plantaron en la parte más alta de la granja.
