Fredy Diaz

Specialty coffee producer Fredy Diaz is a fourth-generation coffee producer and
has been learning about coffee management and production since 14 years of
age, accompanying his father and growing his love of coffee through that induction
- from planting to harvest. Finca La Cruz is named for the concrete cross built back
in 1961 at the highest point of the farm. It is a place where the people of Ojojona
used to gather on May 3rd to celebrate Día de la Cruz - a deeply rooted tradition
in Honduras. Fredy plans to build another solar dryer on his farm to increase
capacity for processing more natural coffees in future harvests, and acquire more
fermentation tanks to support his exploration of fermentation in his processing (his
words: “I love to experiment”). He is looking to expand his planted varieties to
include geisha, paraneima and Ethiopian varietals.
