Timeline & History

La Nueva Paciencia was the first and only General Store in Valledupar offering national and imported goods from Europe such as German acordeons, scissors, knives; French Colognes,  American shoes & clothing.

The  Arhuaco Indians would buy their machetes and the cotton hilazas used to make their clothing. Jacob M. Luque would buy produce from them. Martha Bowen through Latin Organics is following the foot steps of her grandfather continuing the almost century old trade relationship that Jacob M. Luque started. Now -Premium Organic Colombian coffee beans and Hand made crafts are traded directly by Latin Organics.

In our thoughts we saw the need to help countries in development. We added this need, to our strong Latin American roots and so we created Latin Organics.

Latin Organics is able to focus on creating all the logistics necessary that will help guarantee the well being of the people of Latin America involved with social responsible practices. We take care of our customers by providing them with exceptional, unique and always nutritious products. We monitor carefully our business decisions by analyzing the impact that they may have on our employees, shareholders and the sustainability of the planet for generations to come.

Moving forward, Latin Organics has opened its flagship café. A place where our customers and partners can come by to chill and learn more about what we do and learn why their support is vital. Vancouver is one of the world's most beautiful cities. No better place could have been chosen for this Café.
