The San Antonio farm was declared a Private Wildlife Reserve in 2001 and is part of the Central American Biological Corridor due to the management of its owners to contribute to the preservation of natural resources. The farms that are private wild reserves are managed with standards of good agricultural and environmental practices. San Antonio was the largest farm with organic production in Nicaragua from 2001 to 2009.
