This Finca was founded in 1896 and was one of the first on Candelaria-Loxicha municipality to grow coffee. My grandparents from my mother side were form Candelaria and they were coffee growers too since 1913 with Finca La Oaxaqueña where my mother was born. My mother´s name was Graciela, it is a tradition to call the women with this name “Chela”, and my grandfather that was Spaniard, when my mother was a little girl, he called her “Chelin” like "small Chela". In May 2012 I purchased this Finca named Tierra Colorada, but to honour my mother memories, I called Finca Chelin. I just have two years working on this finca that was abandoned for more than 8 years.
Im satisfied for all the effort made by us, including my workers. Thanks a lot
