Finca Floresco

Within walking distance of San Nicolás

Finca Floresco is a coffee farm within walking distance of San Nicolás, in Fraijanes, Guatemala. Jorge Nichols manages it, and his family have produced coffee for four generations. The farm provides meaningful work for people in the local community, and, God willing, it will one day be home to the retreat center Misión Floresco dreamed of years earlier.
