Farm Impact: Sonora is heavily focused on environmental and social impact. The farm uses 100% renewable energy that's harvested on the farm and have also eliminated excess water usage by only employing the natural and honey processing methods. Sonora also provides free accommodations, including most household utilities, for each worker and their families in the farm's houses. 

Alberto Guardia (who we met in person in April 2022) began growing coffee at Hacienda Sonora in the 1970's. The 100-hectare farm sits at the foot of the active Poás Volcano in Costa Rica's Central Valley. Sonora has a well-earned reputation for producing quality micro-lots featuring specific varietal and processing separation. This honey processed lot is made up entirely of the Obata variety, which is a cross between Villa Sarchi and Timor coffee varieties.

"Happy Destiny" comes from the "Big Book" of AA: We shall be with you in the Fellowship of the Spirit, and you will surely meet some of us as you trudge the Road of Happy Destiny." This passage helps us understand that we are not along on this journey. We trudge because it requires work and it's not easy; the road leads us towards greater spiritual connection, allowing us to heal relationships, form new ones, and live more serene lives.
