Martiniano Aniceto Moreno Alvarado owns and operates this 64 hectare farm in Chiapas, Mexico which was established in 2004. 

Martiniano has roughly 4,000 trees on this farm and has been through the Roya crisis that Mexico faced in the early 2010's, coming out the other side with a stronger and more resilient farm focused on exceptional coffees. 

When speaking about the history of this farm, Martiniano smiled when he remembered that in the beginning he produced only 120 quintals of coffee because now they produce over 1500. He credits his farm's success by close relationships and visits from his buyers like Cafe Imports to understand what the market wants and how to continue to improve his quality. 

Prior to coffee production, Finca Rancho Bonito produced only Bananas, but this was not a viable use of the land. They now produce only coffee and the majority of his neighbors are also dedicated coffee producers. The farmers in this region have an extremely close relationship. Martiniano mentioned they all get along very well and they help support one another as much as possible.
