The harvest season
This is the time when the farm is in full force. In this quarter we will be picking, possessing, drying and storing the coffee. We expect that picking will continue on until February, but at the rate that things got started only time will tell. The coffee harvest is an exciting time at Selva Negra as in most coffee estates because there is so much activity. Additional help is hired during this time to help with the amazing amount of work involved in hand picking each red bean in each of the plantillos at the estate.-Read More-
