About Fernando Alfaro of El Salvador
From the mid-1800’s when Antonio Alfaro first planted coffee at El Carmen, to his son, Augustin, who founded the Salvadoran National Coffee Co. to the present day owner, Fernando Alfaro, the Alfaro family has been raising coffee. At El Carmen, Fernando maintains meticulous processing from start to finish, preserving the identity of each lot. He also processes coffees for his neighbors, enabling them to earn their annual salary through the few bags of coffee they produce per year.
El Carmen lies In the heart of El Salvador’s Mesoamerican Biological Corridor, providing sanctuary for hundreds of migratory and native species of birds. Besides growing amazing coffee, Fernando and his family use a portion of their land for agro-tourism, offering coffee tours and accommodations in the farm’s original home. Not only does this enable visitors a unique opportunity to experience coffee growing and processing firsthand, it creates welcome jobs in the community.
