About The Source

Jose Higinio Gómez and his wife Aura Libia de Jesús Gómez Garcia went east to the Sierra de las Minas, not far from the border of Honduras, and established their first coffee farm in 1988 with about an acre of land in a place called Las Moritas. Today, Jose and Aura harvest coffee from more than 150 acres in Las Moritas, a community that has grown from a place with just a few potato farms to a thriving coffee community where hundreds of families have settled to work, built a school, and open other businesses. Cherry from Las Moritas is taken to La Esperanza, a mill with its own storied history of receiving and processing cherry.
