San Gil - Colombia North 2007 Verified listing

History

I was born in the Valle del Cauca Department, but I moved to the Meta state 23 years ago when my parents and grandparents decided to change. I got married and we had 2 children. And all the members of the family help in the labors of the farm. I pick up the beans, the children help in the depulping process and my wife helps me in the drying. I am an associative member of the Cooperative of Coffee Growers of Meta

Environmental Care

I am reforesting the area of the natural water source. Additionally there are graves for the handling of the pulp which is used as organic installment. Chemical agents like fertilizers or pesticides are not used.
