Hazel, Hog Heaven Coffee Princess

With heavy heart, we share that  Hazel, our beloved Pit Bull crossed the rainbow  bridge in May 2025. For nine of her remarkable ten years of life, she was the hardest worker on the farm. She defied the odds and survived Rat Lungworm Disease - a parasite that invades the nervous system - and lived  each day with an unbreakable spirit. 

Though she is no longer here to greet you in person, Hazel's presence can still be felt from the moment you step onto our farm. Her infectious zest for life and unrestrained enthusiasm once welcomed every coffee farm visitor. Hazel's devotion and dedication is a reflection of the passion and care we all share for our coffee farm.

Haze will forever reign as the Hog Heaven Coffee Princess. Her story is woven into the fabric of our farm, a lasting testament to the extraordinary spirit that exists in all living creatures. Despite her challenges, Hazel loved life, her pack and of course working in the coffee orchards. Hazel is an inspiration, reminding us that regardless of adversity, the pursuit of passion knows no bounds.
