Three retired teacher from Poulsbo bought 70 acres farm, which was named Forest Cascades. The name was inspired by the many beautiful rapids that grace the two rivers on our property.  Two streams join into one that becomes the cascading river of Caldera, flowing to the Pacific Ocean. It encompasses 71 acres (28.7 hectares),  a  panoramic spread over two high ridges surrounding and a lush, beautiful valley.

Forest Cascades is an old coffee farm now undergoing substantial renovation, including the planting of thousands of new organic coffee plants and fruit trees.

  The area around Berlin, Costa Rica, has a long history of producing some of the best coffee in Costa Rica. At 3000 feet elevation, the area produces shade-grown hard Arabica beans, prized over the world for their distinctive aroma and flavor. Much of the Berlin crop is purchased by European importers from the many small third-generation farmers who manage neighboring farms.  

From the initial hand picking of the red coffee berries to the final roasting, the coffee beans are carefully wet- processed through  seven specific, time-honored steps to preserve the distinctive taste and aroma of the beans from this unique microclimate. We ship our coffee once a year and sell at Poulsbo Famers market and to our friends.
