Tell us the history of your farm?
The Carmen is the second estate that I acquired there in 1969 through the purchase I made to Antonia widow of Portillo. With 80mz is located in the Municipality of Telpaneca, Madriz in a place where before there was no easy access to the farm so I had to walk a long way to get there. It is a very pleasant, mountainous area and for love of the Maracaturra I planted this variety up to 70% of the total land and the remaining 30% with caturra.
Family generations:
Luis Emilio Valladarez Zelaya, Olman Enoc Valladarez, Irela Valladarez and Luis Valladarez
