Giving back to the Earth that which others take away.

The Finca Irlanda was our first supplier of organic coffee in 1980 and continues to be a primary source for Cafe Altura. It also serves as a model for other farms interested in growing coffee using a sustainable agriculture system.

Available soon at this web site will be our farm report that describes the activities on the Finca Irlanda coffee farm in Chiapas, Mexico. This report provides a detailed analysis of the farm and offers an inside view of the philosophical, agricultural, economic and social concerns of an established organic coffee farm. It also answers some of the most common questions.

Cafe Altura owes a great deal of its success to the Finca Irlanda. For fifteen years our customers have been able to enjoy a consistently rich tasting coffee while supporting a system of agriculture that gives back to the Earth what many others take away.
