Pacayal Honey - Limited Release
Karen and Edgar Carrillo founded Pacayal Coffee on the idea that a crisis doesn't have to mean the end. Chinacla doesn't get talked about much outside of competition circles, but that's starting to change.
About the Producers:
When coffee farming in Honduras hit a crisis point in 2013, a lot of farmers walked away. Karen and Edgar Carrillo didn't. They built Pacayal into a cooperative now 134 members strong, more than half of whom are women. El Rodeo is their farm in Chinacla, La Paz, restored and now part of a region that regularly places in the Cup of Excellence. Through Pacayal, they plant over 5,000 trees a year to protect the watershed their community depends on.
