The Producer
 
Finca Churupampa is a progressive coffee farm located in the town of Chirinos, Cajamarca, Peru run by Eber Tocto and his brothers. Since assuming operations of the farm from their parents, the Tocto brothers have transformed Finca Churupampa into a leading model for economically and environmentally sustainable coffee production. The Tocto brothers see Finca Churupampa not just as a coffee farm, but also as a social enterprise with a mission to revitalize the economic and social landscape of Chirinos. By helping their farmer members to increase the quality of their coffee, they can increase their farmers’ incomes and improve quality of life. 
In addition to selling coffee from their own farm, the Toctos provide export and marketing services for 188 neighboring farmers. Finca Churupampa also operates a training center that is open to the entire community, working with farmers to improve their production practices and break the cycle of poverty that has trapped farmers in the region for many years.
