History

I bought the farm many years ago, the coffee crops were in bad conditions and I only picked 300 kilograms of parchment coffee during first harvest. I got a loan with the bank and I started with the improvement of the farm, planting more coffee. Thanks to my farm I could pay the education of my children. Now, we all live happy together in the farm.
