Finca De Dios, first established as a horse farm, is a near perfect template of conscious coffee farming by the Prentice family. Ellen slowly converted the farm into a full coffee operation after becoming an Agricultural Engineer and inheriting land from her father.
Stuart, an Electrical Engineer, was able to set up a beautiful and elaborate wet mill using natural springs for irrigation. Ashley, their daughter, has a masters in Coffee Science and Economics, and assists with processing innovations and building direct relation-
ships with roasters.
Combining experience with academic backgrounds, Finca De Dios has developed beautiful coffees with the aid of the rich, volcanic soils of Fraijanes and pristine processing. Combined with projects that help local schools and orphanages, the scope of impact for Finca De Dios is staggering for a farm of its size.
Finca de Dios and Ruby have had a direct partnership for 10 years and counting. Ruby Founder Jared had the pleasure of visiting the farm in both 2012 and 2015. Partnering with the farm has both helped Ruby establish itself with amazing coffees in our lineup, as well as provide essential feedback to the Prentice family, helping them shape their coffee processing and establish a relationship for many years to come. Ashley Prentice states:
“The most important thing is trust and transparency. This is built through stable long term-relationships and open communication.”
The last few years have been tough for Finca de Dios due to hail that ruined harvest and hurt the plants resulting in the lowest yields ever this year. This specific Zapote lot was previously collected and bulked with other coffees, but in 2019, the Prentice family sorted this lot out separately exclusively just for Ruby.

I have, for years, received a rotating cast of delicious coffees each month. Each coffee has its own color and profile. I embrace the delicious variety and couldn’t choose a single favorite.
