Finca Noruega is a 25.2-hectare farm founded in 2017 by Los Naranjos Coffee. They are located near the town of Apaneca. This farm is currently part of the Renacer Project, a coffee development center for small- and medium-sized producers working to improve coffee quality in El Salvador. They also have earned several Cup of Excellence wins.

Finca Noruega faces struggles consistent across the industry. Their crops are no strangers to pests and diseases such as rust. However, they make many efforts to understand the soil and overall environment of their farm. By using soil studies to evaluate nutritional properties, they can make informed decisions to help their crops thrive. They apply 4-6 fertilizer doses depending on the soil study results and administer treatment for rust if needed. Weed maintenance is done manually with tools such as machete or cuma, so no chemicals are used. They thank their collaborators in this process. The results they’ve seen from this work wouldn’t be possible without them. As part of their environmental protection practices, they take care of the groundwater through soil conservation work, curtains, water collection pits, and more.
