# # Juan Francisco Yuc Martínez: Coffee at 2,014 Meters

At 2,014 meters above sea level, Juan Francisco Yuc Martínez grows coffee alongside avocado, creating a more diverse farming system at a remarkable elevation.

The combination of high altitude and crop diversity makes his farm a great example of how coffee can be integrated with other productive crops rather than grown on its own.

Benedicto Yuc Martínez: Coffee Does Not Grow Alone

For Benedicto Yuc Martínez, coffee is part of a diverse farming system. On his farm, coffee grows alongside avocado, while banana and avocado trees provide shade.

He also uses organic matter from chickens and horses to nourish the soil, making use of resources already available on the farm.

It is a simple but meaningful approach: more diversity, better use of local resources, and coffee growing as part of a larger, interconnected system.

When the rains become extreme, shade becomes one of our strongest allies. 🌳☕️

A diverse, well-managed canopy helps soften the impact of heavy rainfall, protect the soil, regulate the microclimate, and support a richer ecosystem.

In challenging seasons like this one, biodiversity is more than something we protect. It is part of what makes coffee farms more resilient.

Healthy farms work with nature, especially when conditions get tough.

🌱 Education creates impact when knowledge is passed on.

Manuel Gómez, a graduate of the Coffee High School Program at Finca Carmona, is now sharing his knowledge with other coffee producers.

This time, Manuel led a hands-on training on coffee desuckering for 21 producers — 3 women and 18 men — helping them understand how proper plant management can support healthier, more productive coffee trees.

From student to trainer, Manuel’s journey shows the ripple effect of investing in education: one opportunity can become knowledge shared across an entire community.

When you choose coffee from our producer network, you help keep that cycle moving. 🌱☕️

📍 Traceability starts with knowing who grows your coffee.

With longtime producer Danilo Enrique Yuc Martínez, we continue updating farm information and mapping his plots—keeping our knowledge of where and how his coffee is grown accurate and current.

Danilo has been a loyal coffee producer in our network for many years. And for us, traceability is more than coordinates and records. It’s knowing the people, the land, and the story behind every coffee.

When you choose Hunapu, you’re supporting a supply chain built on knowledge, trust, and long-term relationships. ☕🌱

🌱 A resilient coffee farm shouldn’t depend on coffee alone.

Producer Doroteo Gómez is using intercropping to diversify his farm and his income. Alongside coffee, he grows ornamental eucalyptus for export, creating an additional source of revenue from the same land.

Why does it matter?

🌿 More than one source of income
📉 Less dependence on a single crop or market
🤝 Greater economic resilience for his family

For Doroteo, diversification is more than an agricultural practice. It’s a business strategy for a stronger future.

When you choose his coffee, you’re supporting a producer building resilience beyond the harvest. ☕🌱

🌱 **Coffee is harvested once a year. Soil is cared for every day.**

Together with producer **Eduardo Gómez**, we worked on contour line mapping, a practice that helps us manage the farm’s slopes while working with the natural shape of the land.

Why does it matter?
💧 Slows down water runoff.
🌱 Helps reduce erosion and soil loss.
💦 Encourages water infiltration.
🌳 Helps build a more resilient farm for the future.

Behind every coffee harvest are months of work, decisions, and knowledge dedicated to caring for the soil that producers depend on.

**When you choose this coffee, you’re supporting that work too.**

Because producing better coffee also means taking better care of the land that makes it possible. 🌱☕️

Starting this new year with our workshops on good agricultural practices, recruitment policies, and climate change resiliency! We are thankful for the partner producers we get to work with! ☕️🌱

Coffee Rust: this fungus starts as yellow spots that turn into an orange powder and spreads easily by wind, rain, animals or workers. It can be devastating when not prevented or managed correctly. It attacks the leaves of the coffee plant, preventing them from photosynthesizing light into energy, causing the plant to loose leaves and not allowing cherries to mature. It also affects the quality of the cup.

As part of our trainee program we put a lot of effort in supporting our partner producers on how to monitor correctly plagues and diseases. This specific workshop focused on Roya monitoring and the best actions to take when control is needed, but also preventive actions that can be adressed now and for the next cycle.

Coffee growing challenges:

Coffee berry borer: this tiny beetle feeds solely on coffee beans. The main damage is caused to the fruit, which can result in the falling of it, losses in weight/quality of the bean, and the increase of cost of production as farmers need to invest more money on labor and inputs to monitor and control this pest, and mills need to invest more time and energy in eliminating the affected beans.

We put a lot of effort in our training program for our partner producers in this matter, focusing on prevention and how to monitor in the field the presence of Broca and how intense the pest is, in order to justify sprayings when profit and the crop in the long term seem compromised.
