Finca Los Salas
Miranda, Venezuela
A family legacy rooted in the land
(Agro)Finca Los Salas covers 29 hectares, a portion of which hosts more than 24,000 coffee plants currently in production. The remaining land is managed under conservation criteria and agro-ecological models that support biodiversity and long-term soil health.
The family’s commitment extends to future growth: their on-site nursery (“almácigo”) contains around 100,000 seedlings, ensuring continuity and expansion of high-quality coffee cultivation.
A Terroir with Scientific Recognition
The farm’s main variety is Castillo, selected for its resilience and adaptability to the microclimate of Pozo de Rosas.
Although much of the coffee is exported, part of the harvest is sold locally directly at the farm gate, maintaining a strong connection with the surrounding community.
Finca Los Salas is actively involved in a scientific research project led by the Venezuelan Ministry of Science and the Central University of Venezuela (UCV). The initiative studies carbon sequestration in soils and compares agro-ecological practices versus conventional coffee farming.
This collaboration reinforces the farm’s commitment to sustainability with measurable environmental data.
Finca Los Salas stands as a model of heritage-driven, scientifically supported, and environmentally responsible coffee production
