Overview
I was born at the farm and I grew up in the area. My father a coffee farmer, he used to work in other farms. When he inherited this farm, always saw it as a way to earn his living. Now I have inherited to my children the coffee farming culture so they can continue to produce good quality coffee as a way of living also. I have always been taking care of the farm activities, of the process, the good selection of the coffee beans, a clean process at the wet mill and the timely delivery of the coffee to the dry mill collection points. I feel so very happy for being a winner in the Cup of Excellence contest, since weve been working very hard for years to obtain a good quality coffee and be recognized as a winner encourages me to continue to work!
