Overview
I bought the farm several years ago with a loan of the bank. It cost me $2.500.000 in that time. Today, thanks to the coffee, I have built my house, paid for my childrens education and also making some improvements in the house and farm. I have worked all the time with the support of the Committee of Coffee Growers and the Extension Service. The farm has its own source of fresh water, which is protected; it also has an area with native forest. We have an adequate system for waste disposal of solid and liquid products.
