As people travel from Guatemala to El Salvador, views of vast swathes of trees and farms pass by. Just off the side of the freeway sits Finca El Hato, a delicate and beautiful farm nestled in the hills just outside of the bustling capital.
Verena de Rasch owns El Hato and has utilised her love for trees and exotic plants to surround the coffee trees with a native jungle of plants. The farm was established in 1938, when its original owner, Enrique Topke, began spreading coffee in this region, in addition to raising cattle in his open fields. Enrique’s family still work on the farm and experienced the devastation of Coffee Leaf Rust in 2018, when roughly 60% of the farm’s crop was lost to the disease.
