Hacienda Sonora Estate has been in Alberto’s family for more than a century. In the 1970s when Alberto took over the farm, he began planting most of the land with coffee, and shortly after it became the main source of income.

In 1999 with historical low coffee prices, Alberto invested in a Mill to be able to process his own coffee, maximize his quality, and thus increase the farm’s profitability. By doing this, he also became a pioneer in very alternative processing techniques such as Honey and Naturals.

In 2011, Alberto’s son, Diego, joined the operation as co- manager. Nowadays, Sonora has more than 20 different varieties of plants in 80 hectares of coffee (+ 20 hectares of forest reserve) and is known to be a welcoming place for  coffee lovers.
