Four generations later, it covers 2,320 hectares, 812 of which are planted with Caturra, Sarchimor, Catimor, and Geisha varieties. The remaining land is left as natural forest, actively managed to support local wildlife and biodiversity. The farm sits at elevation and draws water from three protected on-site springs, which supply both the people living on the property and the wet mill.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eToday, Santa Margarita is run in large part by Camila Topke, Wyld's great-granddaughter and a coffee trader at InterAmerican Coffee. Women lead key operations across the farm, including the grafting program, the on-site elementary school, and the health clinic, which partners with the Guatemala Department of Health and serves 75 children from Santa Margarita and neighboring farms. Camila is a member of the International Women's Coffee Alliance and previously served as vice president of its Guatemala chapter. She has also been central to shaping the farm's environmental programs. Coffee here is washed and dried on both patios and raised African beds, using an agroforestry approach that keeps agrochemical use low, relies on compost-based soil nutrition, and maintains high shade coverage across the farm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe farm's long-term goals include building an on-site cupping facility and training workers to evaluate quality themselves. That kind of investment in the people doing the work, not just the product coming off the farm, is what makes Santa Margarita worth paying attention to.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout Traffic Coffee\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTraffic Coffee was founded by Greg Lancot and Jessie Lewin in Montréal. The two came at coffee from a creative angle, more interested in making it genuinely fun than in treating it as a commodity. That sensibility shows up immediately in their packaging, where bold colors and illustrations like a laser-eyed dinosaur or a peanut butter and jelly sandwich make each bag hard to miss on a shelf.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBehind the visuals, Traffic keeps things small and deliberate. They source green coffee with an eye toward quality and roast in small batches, which they say helps them build real relationships with the farmers they buy from. Their sourcing approach goes both directions: some coffees are roasted to let a specific variety speak for itself, while others lean into experimental processing. That range means there's usually something on their roster for people who want a straightforward cup and for people who want something weirder.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"Traffic's breadth of coffee is remarkable - from dark roasts reminiscent of your grandmother's kitchen, to wild co-ferments with tasting notes we admittedly have to look up. The packaging and the coffee inside is meant to captivate you, and I hope you feel the same when you try this coffee.\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e- Dean, Director of Coffee\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Traffic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44202994794556,"sku":null,"price":21.5,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0677\/2880\/1852\/files\/Asset_1_c5c3f5df-d34a-414a-a14d-04254e05e3e5.png?v=1776367725","url":"https:\/\/stillwatercoffee.ca\/products\/santa-margarita","provider":"Stillwater Coffee Club","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
