Farm level story
Finca El Diamante, owned and operated by Diego Campos, is situated in the Alto Pescado area of La Plata, Huila, Colombia, at an elevation of approximately 1,950 meters above sea level.
The farm spans 7 hectares, with 6.5 hectares dedicated to cultivating coffee varieties such as Castillo, Colombia, Bourbon Rosado, and Caturra.
In addition to coffee, the farm maintains small plots for subsistence crops, including plantain, onion, corn, carrot, tomato, cassava, and beans, and also raises cattle and chickens.
Diego Campos, a distinguished figure in the coffee industry, began his journey in 2008 and has since gained comprehensive experience in coffee cultivation, processing, and tasting.
His dedication and expertise culminated in winning the World Barista Championship in 2021, representing Colombia on the global stage.
Under his stewardship, Finca El Diamante has become a benchmark for high-quality coffee production, emphasizing meticulous post-harvest processes and sustainable farming practices.
The farm's coffees are celebrated for their distinctive flavor profiles, often featuring notes of vanilla, white chocolate, and peach, with a medium creamy body and bright malic acidity.
Diego's vision extends beyond production; he aspires to make Finca El Diamante a reference point for other producers, showcasing that high-quality coffee can be achieved through dedication and innovation.
His commitment to excellence not only elevates Colombian coffee on the international stage but also contributes to the sustainable development of the local coffee-growing community.

The Animal
Northern Pike (Gjedde in Norwegian) are very popular in Norway — both in the wild and among anglers!
-
They are found mainly in lowland lakes, rivers, and slow-moving waters, especially in the southern and central parts of Norway.
-
Pike are known for growing very large in Norway — some can weigh over 10–15 kg (22–33 lbs)!
-
They're a top predator in freshwater ecosystems and are respected for their strong fight when caught, making them a favorite for sport fishing.
-
However, in some parts of Norway, especially where pike are not native (like certain trout lakes), they are considered invasive and are managed carefully.
