This delicious Colombian is sourced from family-owned farms organized around the Asociación de Mujeres Cafeteras Plan Mil, an all women's organization that operates in the  municipality of Balcón del Cesar within the department of Cesar, Colombia.

On average, producers cultivate coffee on 27 acres of land using their own micro-mills to depulp and dry coffee. Mujeres Cafeteras share the farm work with their husbands /partners. As a way of diversify their income, women are supporting their youth to start a coffee roasting program aimed to supply the local market with high quality coffee. In addition to coffee production, members of Mujeres Cafeteras harvest and sell plantains, bananas, squashes, cassava, beans, corn, cacao, and yams.
