Linarco owns a 4 hectares coffee farm where he lives with his mother and sisters who also work there. He is the 3rd generation of coffee growers in his family and has submitted his coffee in other COE competitions 2013 and 2015. This year he decided to find technical support in his processes from the company he currently sells coffee to. He says that he feels motivated to keep competing, be able to improve the processes in his farm and find a long term commercial relationship with a buyer.
