Walter Argueta Washed

Walter Argueta has a 4-acre farm called Los Arguetas in the community of Aguasinga near where he lives with his wife and children. In prior years, Walter has sold his family’s coffee in cherry to the local middleman. This is Walter’s second year working with Catracha Coffee and first year to have his own micro-lot. During this time, he has improved his farm management practices using lime to control the pH of his soil, fertilizing with organic compost, and spraying organic fungicides to control levels of leaf rust. These actions have improved the health of his farm and the quality of his coffee production.
