LA CONCORDIA
Yajalon, Mexico's organic farming system is performed under partial shade of native trees. Intercropped with coffee are also beans, bananas, pumpkins and citrus fruits. As an organic group, fertilizations are made of cherry coffee pulp, dry leaves, and wood ashes. The coffees are picked ripe, de-pulped and fermented between 12-17 hours, washed and then sun dried on farmers’ yards or zarandas in order to deliver the best qualities and high-end profiles. Yajalón is a municipality located in the Tulijá Tzeltal Chol region, nowadays comprised of more than 37 thousand inhabitants, most of them from Tzeltal indigenous origins. Cajpe (coffee in Tzeltal) is the main economic activity in the communities and is the main link for the community with the international markets. Coffee being the main cash-crop, is often produced with food staples like corn, beans, and spicy chilies mainly for consumption.
