Our Origin

It Started With a Letter

"During the First World War, a young Guatemalan named Federico Ossaye Zebadua was asked to deliver a letter to a family in France. It was the kind of errand that changes a life — because the friends had a daughter named Suzanne Reignard. They met only three times before he asked her to marry him."

Conservation

450+ Hectares of Protected Forest

In partnership with INAB, Guatemala's National Forestry Institute, Finca Argelia maintains the largest private protected forest in the region. Over 450 hectares of native forest stand alongside our 70 hectares of coffee.

Since 2023, we've been actively replanting 45 hectares per year with native species — rebuilding what time and previous land use had taken. Three natural springs fed by the protected watershed sustain the farm and the surrounding community.
