Empowering Ixil Farmers: The Indigenous Maya Ixil farmers who cultivate this coffee are members of the Asociación Chajulense Va’l Vaq Quyol, a farmer group founded in 1990 in San Gaspar Chajul, which today brings together nearly 1,000 smallholder coffee farmers across dozens of communities. By sharing technical knowledge and investing in infrastructure, members are able to reach international markets with their organic coffee and maintain control over their livelihoods. On these small plots of land surrounded by forests, coffee trees are cultivated alongside other crops and native vegetation, creating biodiverse farming systems that help protect soils and sustain long-term productivity. Coffee farming is deeply rooted in family and community life, and the association invests in the resilience of its members by facilitating the planting of new coffee seedlings, teaching better farming practices, and creating new opportunities for women and youth to lead Chajul’s future.
