Finca Don Manuel is a leading tropical fruit farm located in Santa Isabel, the heart of Puerto Rico’s most fertile lands. This farm is blessed by the southern Caribbean breeze and a climate that allows year-round production. In addition, massive wind turbines encompass the farm providing clean energy.
The farm has its roots in the 1700’s. This land was heavily employed for sugar cane production until about 1945. A sugar cane railroad system was used to transport goods and sugar cane throughout the farm. After being abandoned for many years, Finca Don Manuel was founded in 2013 By Fernando Machado. His grandfather, “Don Manuel Machado” inspired him to start a career in agriculture. Today the farm has more than 320 acres where pineapples, plantains, payayas, squash, and other crops are grown for local markets.
