The farms are part of the considered coffee forest, maintained under regulated shade with native species, ingas, and forest species. These species contribute constant organic matter to the soil, incorporate nitrogen through the ingas, release oxygen into the environment, and capture carbon dioxide (CO2), reducing the carbon footprint. These species create a unique microclimate that fosters interaction between the surrounding flora and fauna. They act as a temperature and soil moisture regulator, enhancing natural and ecological water harvesting during the rainy season and reducing runoff and soil erosion. In summer, they reduce soil and plant temperatures by up to 25%. Additionally, they have species that provide wind protection for the coffee crop, acting as windbreak barriers on all farms to safeguard and protect the plants.

Fincas Los Naranjos cultivates high-value coffee varieties with highly appreciated cup qualities. They are committed to providing the best care to achieve a balance between harvest and vegetative management. A coffee tree can have a prolonged productive life with an appropriate tissue renewal plan. Pruning is crucial, enabling constant tissue regeneration to keep the plant active and productive. The company aims to reduce biennial bearing and treat each plant as a productive unit. Various pruning types are implemented based on technical criteria: previous year's production, plantation age, variety, terrain topography, and vegetative development. Pruning practices such as topping, cutting back, skirting, hedge trimming, and thinning are used individually or in combination, depending on each plant's needs.
