"Since purchasing his first coffee farm and naming it 'San Ramon,' in honor of his late father, Donal Roque has made it his personal mission and lifelong dream to cultivate outstanding coffees while setting the footprint of success for his children and grandchildren. With towering mountain ranges in the distance, San Ramon is situated in a diverse and pristine ecosystem that encompasses 57.75 hectares. The wide array of floral species is something that Donal has preserved and integrated with the surrounding ecosystem.
"Currently he is using an ecological wet mill that recycles water used from depulping during production. This, along with his use of superior coffee varietals such as Pacamara, Maragogype, and Red/Yellow Catuai, has enabled him to supersede even his most optimistic initial aspirations.
"Apart from his extraordinary coffee production, Donal also extends philanthropic assistance to his community. The Roque family regularly provides medication to the local medical clinics and year-long supplies to the local elementary school in the Volcan community."
