Alex Julca has owned the farm Finca Naranjal since 2021. This 3-Ha farm is home to around 5,000 Tabi, Gesha, Pacamara, and Bourbon trees.

The farm focuses on and centers its approach around sustainability. They value safeguarding their soil, water, and biodiversity so that coffee will continue to exist for future generations. The community around the farm also prioritizes protecting the environment.

One of their objectives is to build long-term relationships with organizations or companies that value origin, quality, and craftsmanship, generating a social and environmental impact.

Finca El Naranjal is distinguished by its location in the Flor de Selva zone—a part of the San Ignacio region that serves as a key economic engine and a powerhouse for high-quality coffee production. Additionally, the farm aims to enhance the diversity of its coffee varieties, expanding to grow Arara, Catuai, Pink Bourbon, and Caturra Chiroso.
