Currently only 25 hectares of the Estate is cultivated with coffee with the rest populated with Australian Silver Oak and indigenous trees. The rich red volcanic soil and impressive altitude (1900 masl) make this an ideal area for growing coffee. Coffee is the only cash crop grown here and has improved the livelihoods of people who were traditionally just subsistence farmers.
