History

I was born in the farm where I live today. My father bought this farm 30 years ago. We live in the same house, my parents, my brother, two sisters and my wife. I am 100% committed with the production of quality coffee. I go to the training meetings with the Extension Service and I am currently the secretary of the association of Specialty Coffees of the Village.

Environmental Care

The water source is protected by a native forest that we take care of. The pulp of the coffee is used as organic fertilizer. We have plantain trees between the coffee crops.

Coffee Processing Information

The fertilization is done three times per year according to the soil analysis. One fertilizing in done two months before the harvest. We have a main crop with the 70% of the production and a fly crop at the end of the year with the 30%.
