Finca El Jaguar and Wildlife Reserve is an emblematic producer of specialty coffee with a focus on both quality and sustainability. The farm is a family-operated farm located in the Isabelia mountain range in Jinotega, Nicaragua. In the early 1990s, conservationists, bird researchers and coffee lovers Liliana Chavarría and Georges Duriaux founded the farm with the goal of integrating sustainable coffee production with environmental conservation. The farm extends over 50 hectares of Rainforest Alliance-certified agroforestry at an elevation of 1,300 to 1,400 meters above sea level. The surrounding area of 110 hectares is cloud forest under conservation. The farm is renowned for its commitment to preserving biodiversity, hosting 383 bird species (50% of Nicaraguan bird species) and supporting extensive environmental education and reforestation projects in surrounding communities. El Jaguar implements various sustainable farming techniques, such as using a nursery system with grafting methods to improve plant production and disease resistance. The farm also utilizes compost made from post-harvest pulp, eliminating the need for chemical fertilizers. The presence of trees on the farm provides numerous ecosystem services, including microclimate regulation, pollination, and biological pest control, all contributing to the farm's sustainability and productivity.
