Elmer Lopez is the owner of Los Pinos farm, named after the pines that populate the area. He bought the 18-hectare farm in 2011 in the Chicol community in the Santa Barbara district. His work in coffee began long before he owned his own farm—for years prior he worked as a helper and picker on larger farms. There, he learned a lot about farm management in addition to coffee production.

The farm's harvest runs from January to May. The varieties grown are Bourbon and Caturra. These plants grow surrounded by shade provided by native trees such as Inga, Grevillea, and the pines that give the farm its name. Elmer fertilizes his farm with NPK (nitrogen, potassium, and phosphorus) and organic compost made from coffee pulp.
