Finca Flores de Miriam is located in the municipality of Santa Lucía Cotzumalguapa, Escuintla, owned by the Rivera Davila Family, and represented by María Fernanda Rivera Dávila.
The farm has 90 hectares of land dedicated to the production of sugar cane, hearts of palm, and 2 hectares of cocoa. These 2 Ha of cocoa cultivation, has 6 different clones of cocoa from which beans are harvested that are used to make an alcoholic cocoa drink called Mil Alas. Mil Alas Spirits is a company that produces liquors of the highest quality, from perfectly produced and processed fine cocoa, which optimizes the aromas and flavors of the cocoa genetics produced on the farm. Mil Alas obtained a gold award at the international awards in 2022 and is currently experiencing constant growth in sales and positioning in the local market and in the future the goal is to join the international market. The farm's plan is to switch from sugar cane cultivation to cocoa agroforestry systems, especially now that the production of Mil Alas has become the family's new business model and uses cocoa beans as the main ingredient. |
