Guatemala: Field Notes in Progress
I’m developing an original story from my time with coffee grower Erwin in San Juan La Laguna—walking his family farm, learning how he grows and processes coffee, and sharing a meal at his home.
I’m also exploring whether this connection could grow into a small, thoughtfully designed farm experience for future travelers. Nothing is available to book yet.
Interested in the story, a possible farm experience, or both? Let me know—there is no payment or obligation.
