History
I have born in 1976 in Bugalagrande, a municipality of Valle del Cauca Department. I inherited the farm 8 years ago from my father; he was also a traditional coffee grower from the same town. We started working in the farm in 1980 and currently I live here with my wife and two children of 7 years and 6 months old, respectively. The coffee culture is in average 4 years old, 80% is Caturra and 20% is Colombia variety.
Environmental Care
The farm has its own natural source of fresh water and native forest around it. We havent used agrochemical products for pest control in the last 8 years. The broca control in by hand.
Coffee Processing Information
Fertilization is done three times per year at a ratio of 100 grams per tree. Pest control is done without using chemical products. The harvest is distributed as follows: 70% in the main crop (First semester) and 30% fly crop (end of the year).
