The Hartmanns are third generation producers and a bit of a legend in these parts. The Hartmann family have been credited with making speciality coffee a thing in Panama and each one of them have contributed greatly. Kelly is a revered agronomist and manages many of the farms in the area. Ratibor is an exceptional copper and helped to set up the Specialty Coffee Association of Panama. Allan, Alexander and Aliss focus more on the farm directly but they are well known figures in the industry.
They have always held a deep respect for their land and try to tread lightly. They have 100 hectares of reserve on the property and they implement bird friendly strategies throughout. They try not to cut trees and only plant natives as shade trees on the property.
