Finca Potosì is the farm where the Granja family’s journey in coffee began. It is, indeed, an exceptional place for the Herrera family. Perched in the Valle del Cauca, just outside the town of Caicedonia, its sweeping hillside altitude provides fertile soils for the growth of native Colombian and rare exotic varietals.
The Herrera family acquired Finca Potosí in 1945. The Herreras planted several new varieties for Colombia, beginning the Granja experimentation tradition and driving recognition from other farmers in the Cauca Valley. The years that followed were very productive. Each of the fourteen children took their share of the farm work. Still, two brothers took a particular interest in coffee production. In fact, in the late 1990s, Rigoberto and Luis took over the family business and purchased a few additional small farms. They began using organic practices in their coffee-growing activities and looking outside Colombia for further insights. They eventually seized the opportunity to rent a small farm in Panama. Rigoberto moved there, with the result that his Geisha lots won the Best of Panama competition within two years. Rigoberto returned eventually to Granja, bringing back a profound experience and the Panamanian Geisha seeds. The latter was the foundation for the next growth stage, beginning to chase unique flavours and the super high-end specialty segment.
