About the Farm Juan Martin is BanExport’s ten-acre model farm in La Poblaseña, a community within the municipality of Sotará in Colombia’s Cauca department. Founded in 2018, the farm serves as a place to explore and refine practices that can support specialty coffee production on small farms across Colombia. Its work spans soil management, efficient fertilizer use, variety-specific cultivation, and experimental processing. Alongside cup quality, the farm’s focus includes developing systems that respect workers and improve working conditions throughout the coffee supply chain. Careful Selection, Controlled Processing This Gesha lot is picked at optimum ripeness, then transported in plastic crates to the Area 18 processing mill in an environmentally controlled truck. Cherries are floated to remove damaged and underripe fruit, then electronically sorted for consistency in colour, shape, and size. After depulping, the coffee undergoes 48 hours of fermentation in a sealed bioreactor, with temperature and oxygen levels controlled throughout the process. The parchment coffee is then washed and moved to an environmentally controlled drying chamber. Continuous drying over 48 hours brings its moisture content to 11 percent.
