Rocky Mountain

Nestled in the heart of the Chiriquí Highlands, Rocky Mountain Farms lie within one of Panama's most biodiverse and climatically stable coffee-growing regions.  Situated between 1400 and 1600 meters above sea level, the farms are nourished by Mineral rich volcanic soils originating from the Baru volcano system--a geological feature that contributes to exceptional nutrient availability and ideal drainage.

The region benefits from a unique confluence of Pacifica and Caribbean climatic influences, creating a predictable seasonal rhythm with defined wet and dry periods, steady temperatures, and soft cloud coverage.  These conditions support gradual cherry development, minimizing stress during ripening and preserving the natural sugars and organic acids that shape cup expression.

Rocky Mountain maintains a balanced agricultural design that integrates multi-varietal cultivation with agroforestry corridors, reforestation efforts, and shade-regulated plots, promoting not only biodiversity, but also soil moisture retention and resilience to weather variability.  The farm serves as a central nod e in Hachi's Panamanian model--a scalable foundation for producing high-quality lots with consistency, traceability, and ecological sensitivity.
