La Florida was founded in 1966. Initially the cooperative consisted of 100 farmers who hoped to combine and market their coffee at better prices and thereby
attain a greater level of development. Today the cooperative has over 1500 producer
associates, all small coffee farmers, representing 36 communal groups, including
Peruvian Sierra colonies and indigenous communities. The coffee comes from the slopes of the Andes Mountains in
the region of Central Peru. There are 183
certified organic producers participating in La Florida’s organic program. These
members are now training their neighbors to improve their harvest using
sustainable agriculture practices. The coffee boast USDA and TransFair USA certifications.
