Now in its third generation under the stewardship of Javier Torrebiarte, this family farm represents the perfect blend of tradition and innovation.

Javier brings international expertise home to Guatemala, having studied agricultural business and technology in both the US and London. His vision drives daily operations, from field management to the meticulous wet mill processing that defines their quality standards.
