About Pablo Andres Guerrero of Colombia

Finca El Obraje was once an apple orchard. But in 2000, owner Pablo Andres Guerrero took a leap of faith and decided to grow coffee instead. Unsure whether it would grow at his farm’s altitude, he began, and saw an opportunity to explore with coffee. Thankfully, it not only grew but flourished, and now Pablo’s neighbors are following suite.

Seen here by his drying beds, Pablo’s architectural background serves him well as he applies both passion and pragmatism to his planting and processing methods at El Obraje. He has installed a small yet pristine wet mill on site to enable processing of freshly harvested coffee cherries to begin immediately. From coffee growing in the shade of mature fruit trees to the practice of fertilizing from the highest elevations down to the lowest, efficiency and sustainability show in every practice, demonstrating Pablo’s eye for long term growth and farm health.
