Tarbaca is one of the five original districts of the Canton Aserri region. It has the highest altitude and is characterized as an extremely green area due to the large number of trees and small population.
The Las Palomas farm is located in Cerro El Cedral, part of the Canton Aserri region, and contains a large number of water springs and crossed by several rivers of the Canton. Don Jorge Monge Garbanzo inherited the farm from his parents and took over management in 1993. The farm spans six hectares and produces around 250 fanegas (a fenega is approx 46kg) of coffee annually.
