• At Longboard, nature rules. Since their end goal is cup quality, their focus is not on production yields. Longboard produce quality, not quantity.

• The farms at Longboard are managed free of chemical fertilizers, pesticides, fungicides or herbicides, and in harmony with the natural cycles of the earth, the moon and the sun. Justin personally prunes the farms several times a year, removing branches and shoots that appear to be poor or disturbing neighboring plants. They embrace the harmony between the best traditional methods and the infinite potential of innovation. The result: a superior expression of the unique characteristics of the varietals planted in the diverse microclimates and the rich unadulterated terroir. Embracing the principles of permaculture and biodynamics, Longboard view their farms as integrated, whole, living organisms. This organism consists of crops, soil, forest, water, animals, compost, and people as well as the spirit of the place.

Fennario

• Taking advantage of the drier microclimate of the Palmira region, Fennario is where all Longboard's coffees are taken directly after harvest for processing and drying. At an elevation of 1150 meters and providing an excellent cup relative to its elevation, Fennario has been producing organic Caturra and Catuai as well as an excess of banana, plantain and citrus since the farm was acquired in 2003. It is also home to the Longboard Lab.
