I grew up on my father’s land with coffee, I saw the processes of farming, I saw his passion in cherry picking, but also his anxiety and despair about prices, which led us to what we call the coffee crisis. Over time, my father left this world and I took over the farm. I said to myself that we had to change and improve, not only with regular commodity coffees but also with exotic varieties. Crop diversification has been one of my greatest experiences in the coffee growing process, and through it I saw that I could help my pickers, improve my farm and at the same time the farms of neighboring coffee growers. After many mistakes and successes, I was able to improve my coffee processing. On my farm, which is located at an average altitude of 1,700 meters to 1,900 meters above sea level, there are three water sources and two native forests. Another great and successful moment on our farm was teaching the pickers to talk to, care for and respect the coffee tree. My wife, who loves to garden, learned from her mother that when you talk to plants, they listen. So that our pickers know why they do the work and respect it, we roast our coffee, drink it every day on the farm and give it to the pickers to take with them. My mission is to continue the family heritage with the coffee I love and plan to die here, in my coffee world.
