I bought the farm in 1980 with the help of the bank. I work with my family and my brother, he is the foreman and we have worked very hard to produce the 25 blocks, the farm is in the border between Honduras Nicargua and so I was a little difficult for the conflicts at the time but thank God we are a christian family and with faith and dedication we exceeded many obstacles.
