Las Brujas
Background – Las Brujas is one of the Rogers Family Company’s more unique farms. Not only is it one of the farms actually owned by the company, the vegetation found on the plantation is different from that of other farms. In fact, 10 hectares are reserved for coffee trees, three are used to cultivate organic tea and another two for other experimental, exportable herbs and spices.
2005 - New housing for workers was constructed
