About Anny Ruth Pimentel of El Salvador

Great farmers grow great coffee, and producer Anny Ruth Pimentel could be the poster child for that statement. She pairs a dynamic personality with cutting edge farming and processing techniques and care for her employees, one of which is pictured here.

Finca Loma La Gloria ("Hill of the Glory"), was started by Anny Ruth's father, Roberto. In 2012, Anny began to take over operations with a clear vision of excellence and traceability and aimed to improve the quality of Loma La Gloria by controlling every step in the growing process. She separated each part of the farm by microlots and varietals, restarted operations at their dry mill, and began experimenting with various processing methods. This process involved training everyone involved on the farm from pickers to patio workers to managers in order to ensure focus on quality at every step from planting to harvesting.
