Santa Felisa integrates agroecological practices that respect biodiversity. Inspired by the forests of Ethiopia, the birthplace of coffee, the farm creates microclimates that replicate the natural habitat of coffee plants, helping regenerate ecosystems while producing high-quality coffee beans.

Proper pruning, stumping, and desuckering help prevent diseases. Other practices include mechanical weeding, proper shade management to protect the soil, and integrated pest and disease management. The coffee berry borer (Hypothenemus hampei) is controlled using mechanical traps and by removing leftover coffee cherries from the field after harvest.

Conservation of Soil
Farm waste is separated into organic and inorganic waste and collected monthly for municipal disposal.
Coffee pulp is composted using Eisenia fetida, a species of red earthworm, to produce organic fertilizer for the plantation.
