After being stripped of their pulp, coffee beans are spread out to dry in the sun at Finca Magdalena.

Would you like to pick some of the coffee beans that will end up in your cup of Cafe Oro? Meet the farmers and learn more about the Sister Islands’ coffee connections? Join a delegation to Ometepe in November, 2015.

Led by coffee aficionado David Adler, this delegation will spend 10 – 12 days after Thanksgiving, visiting Ometepe during the coffee harvest. David is an experienced coffee delegation guide and knows Cafe Oro inside and out. He will introduce you to his many friends and farmers on Ometepe and give you an in-depth look at how coffee has supported Sister Islands’ work for 24 years.

If you’d like more information about this trip, please contact David Adler, dadlerwa@earthlink.net
