About us
COLFARMER was inspired by Colombian Farmers who work hard to produce high-quality foods while implementing eco-friendly agricultural practices. We were stunned by the beauty of Colombian landscapes and the quality and diversity of its soil, which is highly suitable for the cultivation of many kinds of crops. At Colfarmer, we are passionate and committed to producing health-conscious foods to meet the increasing demand in the world today. We think it’s time to go back to our roots and reconsider what we eat. Now is the time to start eating whole foods again, and we are here to make these products available to you!
Our brand strives to make a positive social impact on small farming communities. We have joined forces with Colombia in peace, a non-profit organization that seeks to better the lives of small and medium-sized Colombian farmers victims of the armed conflict. By supporting and promoting farmers to produce Colombian staple crops, we encourage them to stay away from growing illegal crops. During the first 4 years of operation, 400 families were trained in new production techniques that meet international quality standards. Besides, they received an income increase from $600 to $3,600 a year. Therefore, when you buy our products, you get high-quality foods while helping promote better opportunities for small farmers.
Thank you for your interest in our brand!

Why is Panela one of the best-kept
secrets when it comes to nutrition?
Panela has been essential to the diet of the Colombian people for the past five centuries because it’s delicious and a good source of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and carbohydrates. It’s a natural product free of additives and artificial ingredients which makes it the healthiest raw and organic sweetener derived from the Panela cane. The Panela cane juice is extracted from the plant, filtered by hand, and boiled until it is dehydrated. This artisanal process allows the Panela to retain all the nutrients present in the Panela cane. Panela can be considered a superfood since it’s a wholefood with an outstanding nutritional value unlike other sweeteners that have nothing but empty calories.
