Finca Java was created as a socially conscious, environmentally friendly endeavor to further the changes we believe necessary to preserve our planet. As such we make our farm, Finca El Peten, available to all types of public and private groups as a venue to conduct seminars, meetings and events that promote the causes for which we have passion. Much of this is done gratis as we believe in supporting these causes with our resources.

Finca El Peten is a well-recognized center and model for education, forestry, organic agriculture, and social projects in Nicaragua. The farm is fully functioning, self-sufficient and organic. We produce everything on site. Fruit, vegetables, eggs, milk, grains and of course, coffee. Forestry is a key part of our vision to preserve the environment. Coffee is an understory crop that grows in the shade of the forest and as such allows us the opportunity to provide employment to the community while growing our forest. FEP is also a research facility to investigate and experiment with all types of plants such as ‘the miracle tree’ moringa and microbial proliferation to restore the natural balance of the soil. You can observe all aspects of production first hand.

Finca El Peten offers private groups accommodations in our onsite hotel. We can accommodate groups up to 40. On site staff can provide full meal and guest service as necessary. On site we have horseback riding, kayaking, golf and other games. It is an ideal place for yoga retreats, bird watching, seminars and of course coffee tours. Coffee harvest runs from November through February and you can observe and learn about picking, milling, drying and all aspects of organic coffee production. There are always opportunities to participate in our local ongoing social projects as well.Projects include the Nica Agua initiative (point of use water filters and hygiene education), the Nicaragua Community Health Connection (construction and operation of the local health clinic), environmental outreach in partnership with the local school system, youth development through sports, promotion of public art, and community asset development in general.
