2019 Coffee Harvest Update for Honduras Highland Farms
January 2019
It is the time of year that many of our coffee farmers are in the thick of harvesting their coffee and getting it ready to ship to us. The Honduras Highland Farmers are no exception. Joel Showalter from the Highland farms sent us some pictures the other day of some of the coffee harvest activities. Our hope is that these pictures will help you feel more connected with growers and make you appreciate more the hard work that goes into your morning cup of coffee.
