Santa Rosa Farm
Where the story began.
Our story begins in Matagalpa, Nicaragua, where my grandfather, Manuel Moreno, purchased a farm and named it Santa Rosa. In the rich mountains of Nicaragua, he planted more than coffee — he planted a legacy for his family.
He was known as a man who helped others and cared deeply for the people around him. In 1972, our family experienced a tragedy during one of the most difficult times in Nicaragua’s history.
My father, Rolando Moreno, was left without his dad at only 8 years old. He was the middle child of five. In time, my grandmother entrusted him with Santa Rosa Farm, and he carried that responsibility with strength, pride, and dedication.
My father devoted his life to the farm and to preserving what had been started before him. In 2023, he passed away at the age of 62. What he left behind was more than land — he left a heritage of hard work, resilience, and love for family.
From Santa Rosa to Bokeelia
A journey across land and sea.
Today, I, Derick Moreno, am honored to continue that legacy as the third generation caretaker of Santa Rosa. I now live in Bokeelia, Florida, where I run Green Thumb Ranch and bring our family coffee from the mountains of Nicaragua to be roasted here on the island.
Our coffee is grown in the mountains of Matagalpa and roasted by the sea in Florida. That journey connects two places we call home and gives Morenito Coffee its identity.

The Name
The meaning of Morenito Coffee.
The name Morenito Coffee carries special meaning. It comes from our family name, Moreno, and it was also a name people affectionately called my father.
For us, Morenito is a tribute to where we come from, the family that came before us, and the tradition we are proud to continue.
