History of the estate:
The land of Hacienda La Esmeralda was first acquired by a Swede Hans Elliot in 1940. The land covers hundreds of hectares, which is now the Palmira and Ca ñ as Verdes estates. In 1904, a Swedish-American banker, Rudolph A. Peterson (1904-2003), bought Hacienda La Esmeralda as his retirement career. After that, the land was mainly a pasture for beef cattle, mixed with a small number of coffee forests. By 1975, the Peterson family had converted beef cattle farms into cheese farming, a transformation that was so successful that it still accounts for half of the land of the Emerald Manor. In the mid-1980s, the family was looking for different industries such as coffee, and the rich history of coffee production in Boquete seemed to symbolize a potential opportunity.
