More than 450 families with farms that average just a few acres in size work together through the Association of Specialty Coffee Producers in Huehuetenango cooperative (ASOSPCE). Each family uses their own micro-mill to process their harvest.  This allows for meticulous care in cherry selection, depulping, fermenting, and drying the coffee.  The cooperative provides assistance for best agriculture practices including using coffee pulp for organic fertilizer, as well as a centralized warehouse to store the dried parchment until it is time to move the coffee for export.
