Hacienda Pilas, is located in the West Central Valley of Costa Rica at a high altitude of 1200 masl. The farm covers 160 hectares and operates with 30 full time staff, 300 employees during harvest time, and an abundance of coyotes, raccoons, and toucans.

Eduardo has planted shade trees which in future can become additional timber income for producers, added cover crops to help recycle nutrients back into the soil, and started a project with World Coffee Research to manage experimental lots and test the management of agricultural practices to assess which new hybrids and fertilisers work best for the area.
