Photo by Tim Hill.Counter Culture Coffee's Sustainability & Producer Relations Manager Kim Elena Bullock filed another trip report this week that picks up where she left off from her Guatemala report: headed to La Labor, Honduras. Kim Elena met up in La Labor with Head Roaster Tim Hill following his visit with Aida Batlle at Finca Mauritania, in Santa Ana, El Salvador, and the two paid a visit to long-time Counter Culture Coffee producer partner Roberto Salazar of Finca Pashapa. A shining example of the potential economic sustainability that can be built upon environmental sustainability, Salazar's Finca Pashapa produces its entire compost requirements on-site through careful farm management and the tireless labor of thousands of worms—Finca Pashapa's vermiculture is incredible.

For Kim Elena's full account of her visit with the Roberto Salazar of Finca Pashapa, please see our Origins section.
