Todos Santos translated from Spanish is All Saints. An Impact Coffee and another in the Town ‘Women In Coffee Series’. Read more about Impact Coffees on our Blog page.
In the breathtaking highlands of the San Martin Cuchumatanes, a sisterhood of 276 courageous women coffee farmers has gathered to fight impossible odds. Meet Todos Santos, a collective known as ‘Mujeres luchando por un mejor futuro’, or Women Fighting for a Better Future.
In this remote part of Huehuetenango these women work so hard to raise their families, manage their farms and bring in an income. A decade ago, the women of this community banded together and soon, they had gathered over 200 small-producer women farmers, and formed an association to benefit the whole community.
The women are strong forces for change. They're passionate about education, and hungry for knowledge. They support each other with constant ideation, coffee cultivation and processing development, sharing of resources, and accountability. Individual smallholder farms are perched on mountainsides between 1,700 and 2,100 meters above sea level. The climate is cool and often cloudy. The long, temperate season slows cherry maturity, putting the bulk of the coffee harvest between mid-February to early May.
Our Ella Todos Santos captures the essence of the strength and resilience of these determined women, who are breaking barriers and cultivating exceptional coffees.
