About the farm:

Cruz Loma is a family run, award winning farm which has been producing coffee for over 20 years. It is only in the last 6 years that it started focusing on specialty coffee. Galo Morales is a former technician for Caravela where he gained much valued experience. He now focuses all this experience on his farm. Along with his wife, Maria Alexandra, they run a pioneering farm in the country that has won various prizes in the last few years.

Galo and Alexandra also run their own dry mill in the centre of Quito, here they also have a laboratory where all their quality control happens before exporting the coffee.

Their business focuses on the improvement of knowledge and skills in their workers, giving them free training and funding careers in aspects like farming, processing, roasting, cup tasting and commerce.
