Andrés Fernández Madrid, the visionary behind Finca San Andrés, has dedicated his life to cultivating exceptional coffee. Nestled in the Lempira department of Honduras, the farm is situated at an elevation of approximately 1,600 meters, benefiting from the region's favorable microclimate and fertile soils. Andrés inherited the land from his father, who taught him the intricacies of coffee farming from a young age. With a deep respect for tradition, Andrés combines age-old practices with modern techniques to enhance the quality of his beans. His family, including his wife and two children, are integral to the operation, each playing a role in the meticulous process from planting to harvesting.

In 2019, Finca San Andrés gained international recognition when its washed Parainema variety was selected as one of the top 10 in the 'Best of Honduras: Late Harvest' auction by Project Origin, achieving a score of 88.50 and securing the 9th position. This success can be attributed to Andrés's dedication to quality and sustainable farming practices, producing coffee with distinctive flavor profiles that appeal to specialty markets worldwide. The auction recognition has opened new opportunities for Finca San Andrés, connecting it with international buyers and enhancing its reputation in the global coffee community. This achievement underscores the farm's commitment to excellence and its role in elevating the profile of Honduran specialty coffee.
