Farm:

El Porvenir - San Fernando, Nueva Segovia I inherited my farm 5 years ago, it was in complete abandonment, no access roads, no infrastructure not even housing conditions much less a wet mill. The first year I was able to grow 3qq, second year 7qq, third year 12qq and by the fifth year I was able to harvest 35qq. My parents and grandparents generation have been in the coffee industry for at least 90 years. I use traditional technology for planting and wet mill. I fertilize my land twice a year, once in June and the last in October. The coffee is harvested December to March. I am dedicated to quality and to guarantee good working conditions and dignified salaries to my employees, I believe in supporting this industry because a lot of families depend on it.
