In the coffee-growing region of Cedropampa, Peru, Fundo San Crispín stands as a living example of continuity, responsibility, and openness to change. The estate has been family-owned for four generations, with coffee not only as an economic activity, but as a way of life shaped by values passed down over decades.

Around 200 families work, live, and depend on coffee production in this region. What makes this origin distinctive is its inclusive approach: the work extends beyond connecting solely with smallholders. Large estate owners (hacendados) are also actively involved,  not as exceptions, but as key actors in the sustainability transition. 

By sharing proven sustainable practices, these estates are encouraged to adopt them as standards, amplifying their impact across the region.

Social responsibility is deeply embedded in the operation of Fundo San Crispín. The estate develops health and education programs for the families of field crews, supporting children from kindergarten through primary school. A medical post located within the facilities provides accessible healthcare to the wider community, strengthening well-being beyond the farm itself.

Environmental care is equally central. During the wet process, water sourced from the community network is treated on-site to reduce solids and sugars through decantation and separation stages. This is complemented by pH neutralization and a system of canals that return treated water safely through the coffee plantation.

The foundation of Fundo San Crispín rests on three core values: family, love for coffee, and respect for the environment. The community remains open to positive social change and to exploring new ways of distributing benefits more equitably, with a current focus on education as a driver of long-term resilience.

For Granos Hermanos, this origin holds a personal commitment. All four founders come from Peru and share a responsibility to help drive positive, lasting change in the region, supporting communities, strengthening systems, and ensuring that value remains where coffee is grown.
