Generations of coffee growers.
This is our family! For 25 years, Rodrigo Del Valle has been at the front of our small business, providing adequate maintenance to the plantations and the phytosanitary practices of our coffee, in order to maintain a high quality product. While we, and our farm in Guatemala have been producing coffee since the 1980’s, we finally took the plunge and established ourselves as Del Valle Coffee Co. in 2020, right here in Maryland. We are so proud to be a local small business in Maryland and hope to enjoy a cup of coffee with you!
