Farm Macarena, located in the village of Los Arados in Piendamó (Cauca), is a project that combines tradition, innovation, and a deep respect for the environment. Across its 75 hectares, a coffee is grown that clearly reflects the richness of the Cauca terroir and the dedication of those who work this land.
La Farm part of a project led by Producer Benítez, a leading figure in Colombia known for his scientific approach and mastery of fermentation processes.
With over 12 years of experience, Wilton has developed its own protocols inspired by winemaking and other fermentation industries, applying them to coffee to enhance the natural attributes of each Variety compromising its identity. At La Macarena, 26 varieties are grown, including Geisha, Sudan Rume, Wush Wush, Java, and SL28, distributed across plots with distinct microclimates and managed according to the genetic and sensory needs of each.
This coffee is grown on carefully designed terraces, supported by a microbiology lab and a processing facility equipped to ensure the highest possible precision. All of this is underpinned by a sustainable and regenerative agricultural model that protects the soil, water, and the lives of the community surrounding the Farm.
