Terrabee
Bees as Farmers
Our apiary, Terrabee, pollinates the coffee fields naturally while producing honey and propolis. The bees are not a side project. They are part of the farm's immune system.
Our Commitment
Farming that gives back more than it takes.
Sustainability at Terracini is not a certification. It is the way we have farmed since 1894.
Rainforest Alliance
CertifiedOur farm meets Rainforest Alliance standards for biodiversity protection, worker wellbeing, and responsible land management , independently audited every year.
Living Ecosystem
BiodiversityCoffee, wine grapes, artisanal cheese, and native bee colonies coexist on the same land. Each species supports the others, the way farming should work.
Full Traceability
Lot by lotEvery bag is traced to a specific field, harvest date, and Q Grader evaluation. No blending. No anonymity. Complete transparency from soil to cup.
Generational Care
Since 1894Five generations of the Terracini family have farmed this land. Long-term thinking is not a strategy here. It is simply who we are.
In Practice
Sustainability in Every Layer of the Farm
From the bees to the vines, every part of Terracini Farm contributes to a living, balanced ecosystem.
People
Five Generations, One Land
Sustainability starts with people. The Terracini family has passed knowledge, respect, and responsibility from generation to generation, a living bond with the land that no certification can manufacture.
Single Estate
One Farm. Full Accountability.
Farming a single estate means every decision we make directly affects what ends up in your cup. We have every incentive to farm well, and no one else to blame if we don't.
