History

I am a coffee grower since I was a kid. I started with coffee crops in my farm when there were no crops there. Today I have made different improvements in the farm, and thanks to it, I could paid for the education of all my sons who are today professionals. Currently, I alternate the coffee crops with beekeeping.
