Cultivated with Dignity
Our coffee farm is nestled in the Sierra de la Botija forest, named in 2017 a UNESCO world heritage site due to its biodiversity.

Our Farm Has a Story
Our farm is unique. Our agronomist team is led by and made up of women farmers who share a heritage of coffee. Because we are committed to the people behind the coffee bean, we pay our agronomists above established fair wages, effectively uniting heritage and livelihood again on the mountain.
Growing
The flavor you enjoy in our coffees is a result of the high elevation, the perfect balance of sun and shade, the volcanic soil, and of course the Arabica tree it comes from, all thanks to the daily care each tree receives year-round from our agronomists.
Harvesting
Our agronomists comb the entire farm four times during each harvest season with steady, discerning hands in order to preserve the health of each tree and to pick the ripened coffee cherry only when it's ready.
Roasting
Coffee roasting is an artisan skill. The amount and type of heat, its duration and how it is applied, determine everything from the aroma to the first sip and its after notes. Our roasts always show our coffees to best advantage.

Rebecca's Day on the Farm Confirms What Makes Us Different
I recently had the privilege of traveling to Honduras with a group from my church. One morning, we volunteered on the San Lázaro coffee farm. It was only three or four hours—hardly a full day—but those hours changed how I’ll look at my morning coffee forever.
The Courage of Starting Over
When life gave Sandra Hernández every reason to give up, she chose something else: courage. She didn’t wait for a rescue. She didn’t ask for pity. When hardship shattered the life she knew, she took her youngest daughter by the hand, left everything behind, and decided to begin again — trusting that Christ would walk with her every step of the way.
Neyli's Journey
In the quiet La Botija mountains of southern Honduras, something beautiful is happening. It’s not just coffee being cultivated at San Lazaro Coffee — it’s hope. Neyli Cruz, 23 years old, is a shining example of that hope. Originally from the small community of San Pedro del Norte, Nicaragua, Neyli was no stranger to hardship.
