Farmer’s Biography
I lived my childhood among coffee plantations. I remember how, being a child, I ran behind my parents and watched the coffee-growing work they did, which nowadays remains as my family’s livelihood.
Little by little I grew and so did my interest to continue the family tradition, as at my home coffee farming was not only one more activity, but the foundation of my family, the support for our well-being.
Now, at the age of 51, more motivated than ever and remembering the teachings of my parents, I am proud to make coffee the support to fight for my two children and my wife, who, with her dedication and love, has allowed me to devote myself 100% to produce a high-quality coffee, because I say that “if something is done, it must be well done, with all the attention and dedication”.
