Young innovators transforming coffee production at El Diviso Farm

Nestor Lasso, a young and ambitious coffee farmer, has taken the reins of his family’s 14-hectare farm in the Huila coffee region of Colombia. At just 22, alongside his brother Adrian, he decided five years ago to revolutionize their coffee production.

Under their leadership, the farm has pivoted towards producing high-quality micro-lots and refining their processes. This strategic shift has not only elevated the reputation of their coffee on the global stage, attracting the attention of roasters and competitors alike, but also significantly improved their quality of life.

Nestor and Adrian are part of a broader movement of young farmers in coffee-producing countries who are embracing coffee cultivation as a viable and fulfilling career. This trend is fueled by a growing global demand for specialty coffees that prioritize environmental sustainability and fair livelihoods for growers. Collaborating with their neighbor Jhoan Vergara from the Las Flores farm, Nestor and Adrian are dedicated to continuous improvement and mutual support, enhancing their coffee’s quality.

El Diviso farm, located near the municipality of Pitalito, boasts ideal conditions for growing specialty coffees, with altitudes ranging from 1,750 to 1,800 meters. Nestor and Adrian, the third generation of coffee farmers in their family, are the pioneers in focusing on quality over quantity, ensuring that coffee farming remains a dignified and sustainable way of life.
