LINARCO RODRIGUEZ - FINCA BETANIA -

At Finca Betania, fresh water from a small spring supplies the farm with water to irrigate the plants and to clean and wash the coffee cherries, as well as for cooking and drinking water. Chickens supply fresh eggs, cows provide fresh milk and vegetable are growing in the lower sections of the farm. All the organic waste produced at the farm is used as natural fertilizer. Lino is keenly aware of the health of his farm and the surrounding area.

Every year, Linarcoโ€™s coffees continue to be some of the most exciting coffees on the Idle Hands menu. This, and every one to come, are no exception.
