Originally cow pastures purchased in 2008, we reforested a total of 30 hectares to conserve the natural habitat, which also includes our coffee groves. The twelve hectares of our coffee farm benefit from the natural ecosystem of this pristine Panamanian cloud forest: pollinators during flowering, nitrogen-fixing native trees, and wildlife providing fertilizer throughout the canopy. This ecologically-oriented approach is the underlying philosophy behind every aspect of our operation—from each seed to flowering tree, and every bean to your delicious cup.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout World Central Kitchen and the October 6 Earthquake:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/donate.wck.org\/campaign\/856068\/donate?c_src=site-slider-rlf202\u0026amp;_gl=1*1pudj68*_gcl_aw*R0NMLjE3OTM4MTQ1MzkuQ2p3S0NBaUF6S3ZYQmhCQUVpd0FCTGw5QXVidDl6RjNiRkc1OVpGSkRYRGlGcFdkeDluYzNDN2hoeXhwbl95dWZWcG4wajk5Smh4LUZob0NkaFVRQXZEX0J3RQ..*_gcl_au*Mzk0MjUzMjM0LjE3OTM4MTQ1Mzk.*_ga*MTMzODk5ODMwNS4xNzkzODE0NTM5*_ga_5WKVY8503C*czE3OTM4MTQ1MzgkbzEkZzAkdDE3OTM4MTQ1MzgkajYwJGwwJGgw\"\u003eWCK is responding in Panama\u003c\/a\u003e, where a magnitude 7.7 earthquake struck the Pacific Coast on Friday.
