These Direct Trade coffees are selected by Haggard to represent some of the finest work coming from Bernie's La Noria, Eliza, and El Dorado farms, and this project helps pilot the foundational infrastructure for Finca Lindero to bring exemplary Ecuadorian coffee directly to Lore.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTristan Haggard and his family have lived in Ecuador for 16 years. Their small Andean farm, Finca Lindero, operates as a regenerative agricultural system integrating dairy cows, chickens, sheep, and pigs. As their work expands into specialty coffee through Finca Lindero, these four coffees offer a glimpse into the place, people, and coffee culture surrounding that next chapter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Producer\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTristan's friend Bernie Uhe runs CVM with his multigenerational coffee-growing family from Ibagué, Colombia. Across his farms in Loja, Bernie carefully selects genetics for their particular expression within the elegant terroir of the Southern Andes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHis approach extends below the coffee trees. The farms work to build and maintain soil integrity through permaculture and biodynamic practices, including worm-tea fertilizer and a neem-based soil-health treatment developed by Bernie himself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLa Noria has placed in the top tier of Ecuador's Cup of Excellence program since its first harvest in 2021.
