This group of smallholders lives in and around the small municipality\u003cbr\u003eof La Unión in Nariño, where the terrain differs greatly from in other coffee-growing\u003cbr\u003eareas like Cauca: Instead of walking up from the town to the farms, as elsewhere,\u003cbr\u003ehere the towns are at such high elevation that the farms are typically lower\u003cbr\u003eelevation, surrounded by high peaks and rough road. FUDAM's membership\u003cbr\u003ebelieves firmly in the principles of sustainability that drove them to band together in\u003cbr\u003ethe first place. When asked recently why the group continues to farm organically\u003cbr\u003edespite mounting pressure to rely on chemical inputs, the association’s leadership\u003cbr\u003eexplained, \"This is just how we live, these are our values and our way of life.” The\u003cbr\u003efarmers pick their coffee during the day and de-pulp it in the afternoon, typically\u003cbr\u003efermenting the lots for 16–24 hours dry. The coffees are generally washed two or\u003cbr\u003ethree times before being dried either in small \"casa elbas,\" mechanical dryers, or\u003cbr\u003eparabolic dryers. The mechanical drying takes between 25–40 hours, while the\u003cbr\u003eother drying structures can take up to 15 days.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wild Coffee Roasters","offers":[{"title":"12oz. \/ Whole Bean","offer_id":44917887500341,"sku":null,"price":21.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"12oz. \/ Ground","offer_id":44917887533109,"sku":null,"price":21.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"6oz. \/ Whole Bean","offer_id":44917887565877,"sku":null,"price":11.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"6oz. \/ Ground","offer_id":44917887598645,"sku":null,"price":11.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5lb. \/ Whole Bean","offer_id":44917887631413,"sku":null,"price":112.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5lb. \/ Ground","offer_id":44917887664181,"sku":null,"price":112.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0615\/6602\/5781\/files\/Colombia-LaUnion_bag-photo.png?v=1768428719","url":"https:\/\/wildcoffee.co\/products\/colombia-la-union","provider":"Wild Coffee Roasters","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
