Finca Montezumo is a family-run and fully integrated organic farm located in Central Costa Rica approximately 20 minutes outside of Puriscal, and 1.5 hours outside of San Jose. We produce fruits, vegetables, cheeses, and medicinal plants mainly for our own consumption. We also produce coffee for sale which we process, toast, grind, and package onsite. Additionally, we run a bar and restaurant which services tourists and local groups.
