Victor Granda Finca El Valle

At Finca El Valle, the main variety cultivated is Acawua, representing most of the farm’s production, complemented by Castillo. The farm is surrounded by mountains and natural waterways, creating an environment where biodiversity is protected and the land is carefully managed. Shade trees such as orange, mandarin, mango, guava, and guineo help maintain balance across the farm.

Located in the hills of Puyango, Loja, Finca El Valle is the result of years of dedication and family tradition. For more than 25 years, Víctor Granda has been working with coffee, continuing the legacy he inherited from his parents, who taught him the value of caring for the land from a young age. Today, coffee remains at the heart of his family’s livelihood and identity.
