Land
for the landless is one of the most important efforts made in the
integral human development program in San Lucas Tolimán.
It makes available to a farming people what is vital to their lives
– land on which to produce their own basic food. It also gives
them an opportunity to raise a cash crop of high quality to meet
other human needs. Juan-Ana Coffee is the high quality crop that
people of San Lucas and area can produce and make available on the
world market.
The people of San Lucas Tolimán happen to live in a part
of the world where conditions are perfect for raising the very best
of coffees. They are high in the mountains in the very foothils
of the volcanos Tolimán and Atitlán. They are on the
shores of the magnificent Lake Atitlán. The soil is volcanic
ash rich in organic matter. The days are warm but nights cool. Perfect
altitiude, climate, and soil conditions for excellent coffee production.
