FARM INFO
The bulk of coffee production in Peru comes from small farms owned and managed by people who follow organic farm management practice attuned to their cultural connection with the land. Producers typically cultivate coffee on just a few acres of land intercropped with shade trees, bananas, corn, and beans. 

While producers design farm management and post-harvest solutions to fit their needs, they also need a strong alliance to bring their coffee to the international market and earn fair prices. Perales Huancaruna (Perhusa), assists small producers access the specialty coffee market and carries out activities that often go unnoticed but are crucial for small producers. Investments for basic infrastructure needs, like road improvements, establishing local warehouses, and preparing coffee for export are all coordinated through Perhusa, which ensures traceability and quality control throughout the post-harvest process. This particular community blend comes from family-owned farms located in the department of Amazonas, San Martin, and Cajamarca.
