El Mirador - Colombia North 2007 Verified listing

History

I have been a coffee grower as a tradition in my life. I have been dedicated to the coffee crops since I was very young. I am married and there are three children in my family. My farm is located in the middle of the hills where the eastern plains of Colombia starts. As the farm is big enough I have, apart the coffee, grass for cattle and plantains.

Environmental Care

The farm is located very far away of the town, and it is difficult to get there as a consequence of the bad infrastructure of the zone. Nevertheless, we, as community, live in a good balance with the environmental, looking for the preservation of the natural resources

Coffee Processing Information

I use organic fertilizers which come from the depulping process of the cherries and organic wastes from the house as well. I make cultural pest control and the wet milling process is entirely done in the traditional way.
