Monte Alto Farm

As early as the beginning of the 20th century, Don Julio Sanchez Lepiz purchased Monte Alto Farm, and from that time, the farm's coffee tradition has been dedicated to providing the highest quality coffee.

Initially, to better manage the farm, Don Julio gave different names to various parts of the farm. After Don Julio passed away, his sons Julio, Juan, Milton, Edgar, and Carlos jointly inherited their father's legacy.

Today, Don Julio's grandson Milton Sánchez Marín oversees the production of high-quality coffee at the farm. The farm has also been divided from its original state into two parts: Oaxaca and Jujumeca, which are the initials of Don Julio's children, symbolizing family unity.

The farm's production complies with Rainforest Alliance standards, ensuring the maintenance of strict socioeconomic and sustainable principles.
