Mangos are a very popular crop in Nicaragua. They grow well from sea level up into our area. Because of the climate differences, fresh mangos are available over an extended period time.

Mangos from Masaya are the first to appear on the local market in Estelí. They appear in late February. The last to ripen are the ones grown in Tisey. They will be available through *****.

In the past, mushrooms in this area only came in cans. With our cool climate we decided we could change that. ...

At around 1300m we can grow coffee. Our coffee is Arabian coffee (Coffea arabica) which grows best in shade. We have coffee bushes scattered amongst trees and banana plants. The highest quality coffee is produced under these growing condtions. To make it perfect, it is grown organically...

The CoolTop facility includes what we are calling a farm but it is so much more. It includes native crops (coffee, mangos, guava, oranges, lemons), an experimental crop area, a mushroom production facility, tilapia farm and fruit leather production facility. Everything is done organically and in a sustainable manner.
