On the estate it has been cultivated varieties Yellow Catuai, Caturra and Maracaturra. Currently the average production prowls around 100 quintals of green coffee of the 7 manzanas of land with that account. In the plantation also bananas are planted to provide shade and also generating income for the family, another species used for shade in coffee plantations are citrus, avocado and white Guaba
