The size of the Finca is 17 hectars, 4 of which are untouched forest, 2 ha of secondary forest and the rest planted with coffee, fruit and timber trees. The first person to introduce coffee on Finca Bernardina was Iluminada Bernardina in the 1960s. Now, in the third generation, her grandson Felix has taken over the management of the farm and runs it together with his father, also Felix. Currently there are 3 people permanently employed on the finca and during harvest and processing season this number grows to 25-30 people. Many ecological measures are taken on the farm for the conservation of their environment -the grass and weeds are being kept under control without the use of herbicides, native and beneficial trees are replanted to provide shade and nutrients for the coffee trees, fauna and flora are being protected and native forests are being conserved to protect their natural water springs which are vital for the finca and the life on the finca. We have visited Finca Bernadina in 2023 and 2024, and we are very excited to be one of the first to bring Felix's coffee into Canada.
