Something went wrong

Silvia Marina Kotowa Farms Geisha Washed Lot Zero Altitude: 1900 masl - 2125 masl Producer: Ricardo Koyner Feature: Regenerative project Silvia Marina: A Farm Reborn Acquired in 2017, this land bore the marks of years of intensive onion and potato farming—its soil stripped of nutrients and its ecosystem severely degraded. From the start, we committed to a long-term regeneration journey, launching a seven-year project to restore soil health and biodiversity. We began by reintroducing tall native canopy trees and planting low-shade tree lines to rebuild the microclimate. Slowly, moisture returned to the soil. Then came the birds—once absent, now nesting— and wildlife began to make its way back. Life was returning. After seven years of patient recovery, the land gave us its first sign of renewal: coffee flowering in 2024, followed by our very first full harvest in 2025. The farm was named Silvia Marina, in honor of the second generation of Kotowa: Ricardo’s mother, who lovingly cared for her father's coffee plantation after his passing. Her legacy of resilience and dedication continues to inspire everything we do.
