Don Francisco de Sola is a visionary in sustainable coffee production, whose legacy continues to thrive through Monserrate, S.A. de C.V. He initially purchased the land in Chalchuapa, Santa Ana, El Salvador, in 1953, transforming it into a model of sustainable agriculture. His innovative approach combined agriculture and livestock, leading to an environmentally sustainable farm renowned for exceptional quality coffee.
The farm focuses on specialty coffee, particularly varieties like Geisha, Anacafé 14, and Pacamara. It serves as a hub for research and agricultural experimentation, collaborating with international institutions such as the Borlaug Institute and Nestlé. This partnership has led to the establishment of variety gardens on the farm, furthering its reputation as a centre for innovation.
