Cafetos de Segovia, established in 2015 by sisters Ana and Martha Albir Sotomayor, represents the third generation of a family deeply rooted in coffee farming in Nicaragua. Their mission was to process and export high-quality coffee from their farms and other local estates. Today, the cooperative boasts over 40 seasonal workers, including 19 women from the Mozonte region, and employs eight permanent staff members.
 
Las Naranjas farm is named for the once-abundant orange trees on the property. Owned by Juan Carlos Herrera Lopez since 1970 as a family inheritance, the farm is located 500 meters west of Finca Santa Gema in El Pinabete, Los Arados, Mosonte, Nueva Segovia. Spanning 3.9 hectares, the farm yields an average of 12 quintals of coffee per hectare. The farm sits at an altitude of 1380 to 1450 meters and cultivates Catuai rojo, Catuai Amarillo, Catimor, and Caturra varieties on sandy loam soils. The harvest season extends from December to April. Las Naranjas employs one permanent worker and hires five additional workers during the harvest and processing periods.
