Coffee Farm Facts
The El Puente processing facility is located in Fundador township, Palestina, Huila, Colombia. “El Puente” translates to “the bridge”, named not only for the footbridge that spans a nearby river, but more importantly representing the connection that the processing facility creates between local smallholder producers and the global specialty coffee industry.
The facility is supported by community investment in the sustainable development of rural areas and is part of a social impact project started by Clearpath Coffee in 2018 with the goal of addressing common problems faced by smallholder coffee producers in the region, including lack of post-harvest infrastructure, lack of financial resources and risk of adopting sought-after processing methods.
El Puente addresses these problems by buying freshly harvested cherries from allied local smallholders, paying a price equivalent to dry coffee, and assuming the risk of processing and connecting coffees to the right buyers around the world.
