Farmer’s Biography:
I was born on December 15, 1963 in the beautiful municipality of San Agustin (Huila) within a beautiful family, who, as I grew up, instilled me love for farming and most of knowledge about coffee. I am grateful to my parents and siblings because they were my example and my great support to get what I have now.
At the age of 25 years I met the woman of my dreams, Martha Yenny Bolaños, with whom I settled a family of two children, David Alejandro and Ricardo, to whom I fondly teach all my knowledge about coffee growing so they continue this wonderful family business.
Reaching the 7b ranking in Cup of Excellence is the result of a constant and arduous work in family. I was recognized in the Huila department as a coffee entrepreneur in last November. I have achieved all this at the farm level through a joint effort with my beautiful family and the goal is to continue taking part and of course improving quality to win the first place.
