FUDAM's membership believes firmly in the principles of sustainability that drove them to band together in the first place. When asked recently why the group continues to farm organically despite mounting pressure to rely on chemical inputs, the association’s leadership explained, “This is just how we live, these are our values and our way of life.”

The farmers pick their coffee during the day and depulp it in the afternoon, typically fermenting the lots for 16–24 hours dry. The coffees are generally washed two or three times before being dried either in small "casa elbas," mechanical dryers, or parabolic dryers. The mechanical drying takes between 25–40 hours, while the other drying structures can take up to 15 days.

Origin Notes: "Cola, toffee, and floral with mellow cooked fruit flavors. Tangy acidity and syrupy sweetness."

Selvin Lopez owns and operates this 7-hectare farm called Finca El Coyote in the Guajiquiro region of La Paz. He has 44,000 coffee trees planted and also grows corn and bananas here. Selvin harvests coffee from December through March and produces both washed and natural coffees, all dried on patios. Finca El Coyote produces roughly 11,000 kgs of coffee annually.

Origin Notes: "Cooked cranberry with mellow toffee and cocoa flavors. Lots of boozy acidity and mild sugary sweetness."
