This cooperative is located in northern Peru in Cajamarca, a region where spectacular coffees are grown at high elevation in a range of microclimates. In the past, growers would sell their coffee to middle-men at unfair prices or in exchange for groceries. In response, a group of producers decided to organize so that they could sell their coffee in a way that would allow them to receive a higher income. Palmas del Paramo is a small organization full of energy and dynamism.
