With the towering mountain ranges in the distance, “San Ramon” is situated in a diverse and pristine ecosystem that encompasses and flourishes within all 57.75 hectares of its territory. The wide array of floral species is something that Donal has preserved and integrated adjunctly with the surrounding ecosystem.

Apart from his extraordinary coffee production- Donal also extends philanthropic assistance to his community. The Roque family regularly provide medication to the local medical clinics and year long supplies to the local elementary school in the “Volcan” community. Señor Roque is not only an ambassador of fine specialty Nicaraguan coffee, but more importantly, embodies the spirit of collaboration, transparency and ingenuity that we’ve long sought and admired form our producer partners.
