Last week our VP of Agriculture, Mr. Andres Lopez, took me to the top of the Jaramillo cluster of 5 farms. When I was there last year it was a tough, 2 hour long hike (and sometimes a crawl!) but this year I was extremely pleased when we were able to walk to the highest point in around 30 minutes

But is this test actually meaningful? Cut tests are one of multiple analyses done at origin to evaluate fermentation and give some indication of flavor. But they have some shortcomings, particularly

When you invest in a turnkey managed, passive income generating farm, you do so because you don’t really want to get your hands dirty. You let your money work for you. Not the other way around. Smart! But, someone has to get their hands dirty to turn around these old farms and plant the new farms from scratch. Luckily for
