This is the third harvest we import from these strong women in Tello, Huila. This lot is the result of a 21-women-strong association of 57 hectares of coffee-growing land among them.

The Asociasion de Mujeres Rurales Prisma de Tello was formed in 2016 following four women’s decision to band together and support each other in gaining a stronger voice in the often patriarchal reality that agriculture and business can be in many countries. Asomuprisma now counts 25 women, 4 more than when this lot was harvested, helping organise and provide courses on cultivation and harvesting, the financial aspects of running an agricultural business and help with requesting loans and stipulating contracts.

This lot is handpicked, washed, fermented between 14 and 20 hours (depending on the altitude of the individual associate’s land) and sundried on raised or parabolic beds.

The 30-year long armed conflict in has left many women in Chimaltenango to fend for themselves. This led to some women in San José Poaquil joining strengths and forming the cooperative Con Manos De Mujer in 2014. These smallholder women cultivate Bourbon, Caturra and Catuaí beans high up on the Altipiano Central de Guatemala, at around 1750 metres asl. Cherries are shade-grown, hand picked and washed in fresh mountain water, then sun-dried on patios.

Since we’ve started to work with this cooperative, 6 more women joined the 33 women associates. Among their priorities they aim to maintain the biodiversity of the land they farm, integrate soil with fertile compost and re-circulating the water from the beneficio into the farmed land. Their hard work and putting together small savings to be able to attend courses has paid off, as they have recently achieved Organic certification for their coffee.

There are frequent trainings and workshops organised for the associated women: these range from income and business management to compost production and organic fertilisation of the soil. They are currently trying to save money to purchase a roasting machine, to be able to roast their coffee and sell it nationally to cafés and restaurants.
