More about the coffee, producer & region.

The Buenos Aires Project brings together small growers from the vicinity of their farms, that have high quality coffee potential and the desire to become involved in a sustainability scheme. The project started with 25 growers with average farms size below 5 hectares, these growers have properties ranging from 1,300 to 1,700 masl on the slopes of the Santa Ana volcano, which is one of the main growing areas in El Salvador. Most of the coffees grown by this group are heirloom arabicas and Bourbons with some other hybrid varietals that El Borbollon has started to screen at the mill and cup.

About the Region

The community project had some main objectives: 1. Improve the living condition of small growers, by giving them better access to market and logistics. The price received by the growers was almost double the local market rate. 2. Create a stronger community bond in the area. 3. Improve the community knowledge on how to grow higher quality coffees and gain more value for their product. (For some of the growers it was the first time they have met an international buyer)
