Silvestre Justiniano Velásquez Morales, the diligent owner of Rancho las Vegas, has been engaged in coffee farming for the past eight years. His journey began with planting the first coffee bushes to test their adaptability to the local conditions. Over time, Silvestre’s farm has improved significantly, thanks to technical advice on coffee management. With the support of his family, Silvestre has learned various management methods that have enhanced his farm's productivity. The farm, named Rancho las Vegas due to its proximity to a river, now thrives and provides substantial benefits at harvest time, reflecting Silvestre's hard work and dedication.
Rancho las Vegas, situated at an altitude of 2,000 meters above sea level, covers 1.32 hectares and cultivates Catimor, Borbón, and Caturra varieties. The farm's clay loam soil offers an excellent growing environment for coffee. The coffee processing begins with manual pulping of the cherries. After pulping, the beans are fermented in tanks for two days to develop their flavors. Post-fermentation, the beans are washed in baskets to remove any residual mucilage. The drying process takes place on a concrete surface, typically lasting two to three days depending on solar radiation. This meticulous process, managed with care and precision, ensures the high quality of coffee produced at Rancho las Vegas.
