The Tres Milagros farm (‘Three miracles’) is a 105-hectare estate located in the famous Tres Rios region of Costa Rica. It is managed by Nelsyn Hernandez, a Honduran agronomic engineer and banana farmer by trade, who moved to Costa Rica in 2010 to revive the farm which had been abandoned for many years. Through mismanagement and neglect, the trees hadn’t been renovated for many years and productivity was low. This is how the farm got the name Tres Milagros; it was going to need a miracle to save it.

Once taking stewardship of the farm, Nelsyn set about improving quality and productivity. Old, unhealthy trees were removed, and replaced with high yield, high quality varieties. A deliberate and strategic fertilisation and soil management policy was implemented, more qualified employees were hired to improve practices on the farm.

Nelsyn is now growing a number of high quality varieties, including Red Bourbon, Caturra, H3, Villa Sarchí, Ethiopian heirloom and Geisha. Under Camilo’s guidance, the team at Tres Milagros are doing a number of progressive and experimental processing techniques, with fantastic results.
