Las Capucas

Honduras

Nestled in Las Capucas, Honduras, Capucas began in 1999 inside the home of José Omar Rodríguez Interiano. With no warehouses or drying patios, José Omar left his work as a coffee trader to create a cooperative where producers could take ownership of their coffee and access fairer markets. From just 54 producers and a community without electricity, that conviction and community spirit laid the foundation for what is now a thriving cooperative.

From Home to Headquarters

Building Together

By 2002, José Omar’s house was no longer enough, and Capucas moved to a larger property to serve as its headquarters. Producers contributed directly to building the first wet mill, drying structures, and a technical team. From day one, the heart of Capucas has been its members. Their dedication and commitment to improving processes have driven the cooperative’s growth and recognition.

Resilience in Action

Growing Stronger

Over the years, Capucas has faced challenges and overcome them thanks to their courage and innovation. Women-led initiatives like Flor de Campo have created new opportunities for independence while producers have overcome coffee leaf rust, invested in organic soil health, diversified with honey and tomatoes, and built facilities for processing and education. Today, with 52 employees and a network of 800 producers, Capucas continues to strengthen quality through collaboration and technical expertise.

Community at the Core

More Than a Cooperative

Capucas began as a cooperative and has grown into a community built generation after generation. Guided by values of collaboration and care for the land, its members uphold a shared commitment to sustainability and growth. We are proud to partner with Capucas and to share their exceptional coffee, rooted in dedication, resilience, and a vision for the future.
