HACIENDA EL PORVENIR
A bit of history…
Don José Antonio Mejía founded the 72 hectare Hacienda
El Porvenir in the late 1800s with the purpose of carefully
growing selected coffees.
In 1915, his son Don Jorge inherited the estate and
continued this tradition.
Don Pedro Fierro, who had been the Hacienda’s
administrator since 1897, inherited the land from Don
Jorge…
