Our Collective Transformation Program operates as a solutions laboratory — where we challenge the traditional logic of agricultural supply chains to design unique models built on alliance, justice and shared value. From the territory, we co-create innovative responses that align impact, viability and purpose.
At the heart of our model: value creation in situ. Through our Village Industry facilities and community processing, we transform raw materials right where they are grown — ensuring that wealth doesn’t escape as a simple ingredient, but stays, takes root and is redistributed locally to build the economic autonomy of the families behind it.
This model rests on an unshakeable collective commitment. We don’t impose formulas — we listen, learn and work in direct alliance with producers to co-create value chains that are just and resilient.
Under this vision, our living initiatives weave tradition and scientific innovation together across: Oleos, Coffee, Cacao, Vanilla, Essential Oils and Extracts.
Our Living Programs
OLEOS
This is our genesis — and our first act of industrial independence.
We transform native seeds into vegetable oils of exceptional purity, turning Costa Rica’s biodiversity into a source of innovation. We don’t extract raw materials — we process our own wealth responsibly, exporting finished products with a unique identity and an irreplaceable origin story.
This is how we ensure that added value stays where it was created — flowing directly back to the hands that cultivate the land.
COFFEE
We challenge the commodity logic by building an integral and regenerative value chain.
Coffee is our living laboratory — where we transform the entire supply chain, from the first seedling to the final extract. We diversify our offer across roasted beans, oleos and extracts, creating value that reaches far beyond the traditional harvest.
By strengthening the autonomy of producer families and raising social and environmental standards, we prove that agroecological excellence is not a trade-off — it is synonymous with quality, autonomy and justice for every person who cultivates.
CACAO
We reclaim the Mesoamerican legacy by co-creating with farming communities to restore the true value of cocoa.
We move beyond raw material sales to master fermentation, drying, and roasting within the territory itself. Our goal is Community Chocolate Making: an intercultural adaptation that brings the bean-to-bar process to remote areas.
This is how the guardians of tradition stop being suppliers — and become the owners of their own chocolate.
VANILLA
A value chain born from the Finca-School concept, co-created with producers to avoid dependency and strengthen social fabric.
Rather than imposing a model, we walk alongside — sharing knowledge and technology to cultivate vanilla of the highest excellence. Four years of patience, collective commitment and shared learning, all in service of one goal: a supply chain strong enough to access fair markets and weather the storm of volatility.
ESSENTIAL OILS
We capture the soul of medicinal and aromatic plants from Costa Rica’s exuberant biodiversity — through processes that are 100% community-driven.
This program brings transformation into the heart of family life — where producers operate their own stills to distill essences of Juanilama and Oregano. Every drop is processed, filtered and bottled by the same hands that planted and harvested the plant.
More than a product, this is an educational and vocational tool — one that connects new generations to the science and extraordinary potential of their own natural environment.
EXTRACTS
We develop personalized, high-value plant extracts for the cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries.
This Research & Development service allows communities to diversify their offering and access exclusive markets — transforming botanical curiosities into certified, sophisticated solutions that meet the most demanding industry standards.
