Ignacio Gutierrez has a long history in farming. Before he started planting coffee in the year 2000, he worked with wood and tomatoes. Ignacio started his farms with just 500 coffee trees. He now grows coffee on about 5 manzanas of rich soil in El Salvador, and has produced fantastic lots year after year. In both 2011 and 2013, his coffees took first place in the Cup of Excellence competition. He produces a strong selection of heirloom varieties, processing some as Washed, Natural, and Honey.
Hayden has traveled to El Salvador multiple times, building a relationship with farmers in the Chalatenango region over the last 6 years.
