    This washed lot comes from Finca Caxarumy, a one-hectare farm tucked between Loja and Vilcabamba in southern Ecuador. Run by Fulvio Salinas, the land has been in his family since the early 1900s. Once surrounded by coffee farms, Fulvio’s is now one of the few that remain - but signs of revival are growing, with new farms appearing each year.

    After selective harvesting, cherries are pulped and fermented for 24 hours in large concrete tanks. The coffee is then washed and dried on raised beds inside a polytunnel until it reaches 10–11% humidity. With an annual production of just 600 kg of parchment, every step is handled on-site with care and precision.

    Fulvio is a member of APECAEL, a grower-led organisation promoting organic farming, gender equity and fair pay. Their shared compost and training efforts support producers like Fulvio in building a more sustainable and connected coffee future for this quiet corner of Ecuador.

    Name Fulvio Salinas
    Location Loja, Ecuador See on a map

    Finca Caxarumy is a small, shade-grown farm run by Fulvio Salinas, located just outside Vilcabamba in southern Ecuador. Coffee has been part of this land since the early 1900s, when Fulvio’s grandfather began farming here. While the region saw a decline in coffee production through the mid-20th century, Fulvio continues to grow coffee on a single hectare - one of the few remaining farms in the area. With an annual output of just 600 kg of parchment, every step of the process happens on the farm, from pulping to drying.

    Fulvio is a member of APECAEL, a grower-led association based in San Pedro de Vilcabamba. The group promotes organic farming, gender equity, and fairer pay for producers, offering compost, training and support to its members. Together, they’re working to rebuild the region’s coffee trade - one rooted in sustainability, biodiversity and community.
