On their drive to their farm, Rosma, Freddy Milton Morales and his father would stop at a nearby bridge and enjoy a cup of coffee while enjoying the beautiful view. In 2015, they had the opportunity to buy the farm where they stopped to enjoy the scenery and they jumped on the chance to specialize their farms by planting unique varieties on each lot. They named the farm Cascada Encantada to commemorate the gorgeous view they always enjoy.

The high altitudes of 1,800 to 1,995 meters above sea level create the ideal warm days and cool nights to promote sweet, dense cherry growth. In addition to the Typica in this lot, Fredy and his father also grow Geisha, Pacamara and Bourbon on their farm.
