Our Sustainable Coffee:
Finca Rosa Blanca Coffee Plantation and Inn has 30 acres of hard bean coffee which is certified organic by the Rain Forest Alliance, an international organization called BCS OKO Garantie and is certified sustainable by ICAFE, the Costa Rican National Organization for Coffee. We have planted over 5,000 native trees on our plantations producing shade for our organic coffee and with the help of the environmental protection agency (MINAET) and local school children. We have also created biological corridors for the birds and animals of the area.
We use no agrochemicals, pesticides, herbicides or fungicides on the farm preferring to apply the natural compost from our vermiculture (worm beds) and composting at the hotel and to use the natural enemies of the fungus and pests which can plague coffee.
