Café de Vanibel

The geographical location of this small farm is a major asset for its coffee plantations. In fact, its proximity to the forests protected by the Guadeloupe National Park means that it remains surrounded by a preserved ecosystem that favours the quality of its agricultural production. In keeping with this geographical particularity, the Nelson family naturally chose to adopt agroforestry as their farming system. The combination of coffee, vanilla, cocoa and other tree species helps to maintain a certain biological diversity within the agricultural plots, which in turn helps to integrate them into the natural forest landscape. This activity keeps the site alive as an extension of its history, with remnants of its former coffee production. Vanibel therefore combines natural and cultural heritage in an area of just seven hectares. The Vanibel farm produces 100% Arabica coffee, sold as beans or ground.
