La Azotea coffee farm Today, I visited a coffee farm called La Azotea. This is a farm near to where I live. They grow up organic coffee. It was very interesting because I could see how coffee plant grows. Plants needs few sun light so is necesary plant some trees between plants. Usually plants avocado trees or another kind of big trees. Well, There are two ways to grow up coffee. It's possible grow up coffee with direct sun light and parcial sun light. But the best coffee grows up with parcial sun light. There's no machines for to pick up coffee fruits. So is necesary make this by hand, this job is usually done by women. They usually pick up about 100 pounds per day. During the harvest season, it is from October to November. After harvest, coffee beans goes to a machine that peels them, and then is necesary dry coffee beans. So, it goes a big patio in the farm where beans stay for two or three weeks under sun light until they are completely dry. After that coffee is ready for toast. And this is how a coffee farm works.
