History
Established in 1954.
The story of "EL GAVILÁN", our coffee farm
In Honduras 110,000 families support themselves through coffee farming at small family farms. The family work takes places in rural areas, and they collect their aromatic beans which are the heart of each cup of coffee, and which have grown into a coffee culture in our country of nearly 194 years. Currently, Honduran coffee is recognized as one of the best in the world.
Since 1954, our farm "El Gavilán" has been grown and worked by one family. Mr.Ismael Maldonado, the farm owner, taught his children and grandchildren his love,
passion and dedication in the farming and harvesting of quality coffee. Juan C. Maldonado, the current owner of the farm, grew up working his grandfather’s farm, and ended up inheriting the farm "El Gavilán" and expanding the growth area and the coffee bean variety our farm meets the quality and standards and requirements for plant products, that is chemical free.

In 2012, I traveled to the United States with 12 lbs of roasted coffee coffee to share with family and friends. The following year I took 60 lbs of coffee. This is how the idea of bringing 100% Honduran grown coffee to an international market surged, with the goal of promoting and supporting the work of coffee growing families through fair prices practice. From the 2018-2019 harvest we able to export 12 sacks of coffee, 69 kilos each, from Santa Barbara, Honduras to Savannah, Georgia. this wad achieved by the Maldonado family with help from IHCAFE, an Institute that offers help to small coffee farmers in the exporting and productions, tasting, control and management of the farms.
