【Note】
Finca Guachipilin, family own farm, established in 2009 by RENATO DIAZ DIAZ, is located in municipal La Palma, in a mountainous area of El Salvador.  The farm has been in full operation since 2011 and, in 2013, obtained a de-pulping machine.  Coffee production in Finca Guachipilin relies on man power: the farm has not yet opened to electric power supplies so that coffee cherries are processed manually from pulping to drying.  The municipal La Palma are blessed with cool climate and volcanic soil, which allow coffee cultivation to become popular.
