Chirinos focuses its efforts on sustainable agriculture as a way to
improve coffee quality and secure better prices. Today, Chirinos is a
standout cooperative, and is well-known for its delicious coffee and forward-thinking production practices.

Chirinos coffee is hand-picked by co-op members and their families. Each producer group relies on an experienced agronomist who provides technical support in organic production and quality control. Chirinos uses strictly organic compost which they make themselves using a unique composting system called "gaicashi." The method produces potent, high-quality compost at a low cost and avoids the use of pesticides by controlling pests naturally; their development of this system is an example of the innovative thinking that has allowed Chirinos to thrive.
