In Guadeloupe, get to know Joël Nelson, agroforester Domaine de Vanibel

Coffee growing has long been the mainstay of Côte Sous-le-Vent farms. Introduced to the island around 1725, Guadeloupean coffee was considered one of the best in the world.

Conscious of this heritage, Joël and his family strive to grow quality coffee on the Vanibel estate.

My agroforestry activity is located on the outskirts of the heart of the National Park. This well-preserved ecosystem is conducive to quality agricultural production. So it was only natural for me to embrace the values of the Esprit Parc Nationalbrand !

For generations, my family has campaigned to ensure that the coffee-growing traditions of Guadeloupe live on. We also grow vanilla, bananas and cocoa, in perfect harmony with nature!

These are the natural heritages of the Côte-sous-le-vent that we preserve to pass on to future generations.
