Peru Norte San Ignacio coffee is sourced from family-owned farms organized around the Central Fronteriza del Norte de Cafetaleros (CENFROCAFE), an umbrella cooperative established in 1999 that supports 80 organizations and 2,000 coffee producers in the region of Cajamarca, Peru.
CENFROCAFE provides training and financing to improve coffee quality and yields and increase farmer earnings. CENFROCAFE is one of the leaders in creating a cooperative alliance with like-minded associations in the greater Cajamarca region to provide vital technical and marketing services to thousands of small-scale farmers in Northern Peru.
Without this strong organization, local farmers would have otherwise been left to their own devices to develop best practices for healthy fields, increase production yields, and market and sell their coffee.
