Honduras is very special to Project Origin for many reasons. It is the place Saša bought his first farm, Finca Beti, named after his wife, where we explore innovations with processing, different varieties and harvesting techniques. It is also where we hosted the Best of Honduras Late Harvest auction from 2016-2019, connecting producers with no previous direct trade access to buyers from all over the world, and many of these relationships continue to this day. Honduras isn’t where we go to visit suppliers, it’s where we go to be with our friends, our second family. And sharing these coffees around the world brings us great joy.
Honduras has an extended harvesting period. The main harvest is from October to February and the late harvest extends from March to June. The late harvest often features beans that take longer to mature. Coffees will typically ship from each origin about 3-4 months after the harvest begins.
The Project Origin Community Fund has allocated money towards projects that build daycare centres, infrastructure, drying beds, green coffee processing and fermentation facilities and more.
We acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the land on which we work, the Ngunnawal people. We pay our respects to elders past, present and emerging.
