To diversify its income, Isidoro has also planted some hardwood species including: gravillea, cedar, mahogany and cedar of the Indies. Numerous species of birds and animals inhabit the plantation: doves, woodpeckers, kingfishers, squirrels, deer, rabbits.
The varieties of coffee grown here are Caturra and Catuai.
The smaller portion of the Finca is El Manguito and it is where there are Guama, gravillea, rosado cedar, espino cedar and mango
To work at his farm he uses only a machete and hand tools.
Driven by the desire to be a high-quality coffee producer Isidoro has built its comprehensive beneficiamento station patios for drying and it is where he's improving with experience, its selection.
