Cafe con mantequilla de @granja.del.mercadito.de.lola ☕️💪🐂 On my last day in Guatemala, I showed @jen_whitehead how to make a #buttercoffee @elmercaditodelola ! They have all the essential ingredients...the coffee, the coconut products and most importantly, #100percentgrassfed cows making AMAZING butter. It’s not easy to find grass fed beef or dairy in Guatemala. What’s happening at the farm I visited is truly progressive and they’re pushing the boundaries in many directions. Shout out to Lola and Edgar and all the amazing humans and animals that are contributing to positive change in Guatemala! #regenerativeagriculture
#Repost @ylainetwork with @get_repost ・・・ Perfect day at a Guatemalan coffee farm 🌿☕️ • • • • • #ylai #entrepreneurship #coffeefarm #thirdwavecoffee #farmtotable I’m back in VT and will be reflecting on my trip for a long time. Just one week ago I was fortunate enough to get a tour of Finca Las Cortinas in Santa Rosa. I have a new appreciation for Rough terrain, the Fascinating countryside and the hard work being done by dedicated people to make Guatemalan Coffee something we can enjoy.

We started our day yesterday with breakfast and a tour at Caoba Farms in the beautiful colonial city of Antigua. This place was EPIC! They have an amazing restaurant on site, sprawling lush gardens that you can walk through and tour, yoga and a farm store full of healthy local foods and products. After that we went to @valhallamacadamiafarm , a macadamia nut farm in the same region where we toured, learned and ate. The last picture is precious cargo...3 young macadamia nut trees destined for the fertile volcanic soil @granja.del.mercadito.de.lola
Had an amazing time yesterday visiting @granja.del.mercadito.de.lola in Esquintla. We talked #silvopasture , drank coconut water, ate fresh cheese and cream, talked multi-species animal management and harvested yucca. Many of the practices being implemented here are not only progressive compared to the rest of Guatemala, but rival even some@of the best systems I’ve seen in the States. Thank you Lola and Edgar and for your generosity and the inspiring and necessary work you’re doing! #regenerativeagriculture
Yesterday @jen_whitehead and I had quite the adventurous day! We joined Steph (YLAI 2017) on a tour of her coffee and avocado farm in Santa Rosa. Jesus, a young guy who’s an aspiring Q grader from Spain joined as well! We talked supply chain, processing methods, farming challenges and consumption trends both here in Guatemala and in the states. I had a blast despite some challenging conditions and am super thankful for Steph’s generosity and the passion she has for her farm and the hard work it takes to make a coffee farm work. I learned a ton and the experience was amazing.
Breakfast day 2 @elmercaditodelola !!
Blank Page will close at noon today and will be closed tomorrow 7/4!! Happy 4th of July! Stop by and say hi to Katie on Thursday!!
Amazing first day of #coffee shop touring with Roberto from @coffeedistrict.gt here in Guatemala City. Thank you for the informative and inspirational tour of the up and coming #thirdwave Coffee movement here in the city. We drank some amazing #guatemalancoffees prepared with precision and care from talented baristas and I learned a ton about the domestic coffee industry and the challenges and rewards of owning a coffee shop here. Thank you again Roberto. I truly appreciate your generosity and knowledge and am inspired by our conversations and coffee experiences we shared today. Shout out to the @ylainetwork for facilitating and @jen_whitehead for tolerating this much coffee talk!
