About
Proud Mary's connection to the Santa Barbara region of Honduras began all the way back in 2012 when we were introduced to a small group of producers situated around the town of Peña Blanca, close to the shores of the stunning Lake Yojoa. More than a decade later, that group of producers has grown in number, and our relationships have deepened. In 2018, we noticed that these producers were doing so well that their production was increasing quicker than we could sell it. Enter… Chicos Buenos (Good Guys). Chicos Buenos is a community blend that we created with our producers in Santa Barbara so we could take more of their coffee. Because this coffee is a blend of several different lots, it scores higher than any of the individual components. It truly is more than the sum of its parts. For the 2023 harvest, the producers who contributed to this blend are Armando Guzman, Javier Fernandez, Nahun Fernandez, and Ovidio Gomez.
