La Golondrina - Columbia
Popayán, Colombia
The colonial, white-washed city of Popayán is located in the southwestern Colombian region of Cauca, which even now is, unfortunately, probably still better-known for drugs and violence than for its impressive altitudes and extraordinary coffees. The farms of Orgánica’s members lie in clusters around the villages of Timbio and Piendamó, to the north of Popayán, and they range in size from one hectare to more than 20 hectares.
