Main products grown here are vegetables, food grains and of course, coffee. Located in the buffer zone of Parque Celaque, an environmental reserve park this land is surrounded by wide life vegetation trees such as liquidambar, cedar, pine trees, etc
In the region Lenca communities have established. Historical heritage of the region consists of a temple built by the Spaniards in the 1600s. Using traditional fertilization, Hector has begun to fertilize using organic fertilization in combination to regular fertilizers, hoping to move to organic. About his Family:
Most of the farm was inherited to his mother by his grandfather, and although Hector resides now in San Pedro Sula, most of his family still lives in Ocotepeque, two of his brothers who help him manage the farm.
