2009 Bolivia Cup of Excellence® Winning Farms - Auction November 19, 2009
Lot#: 24 Teodocia Castro Conurana - Café Oro
Overview

We migrated from Pacajes province in 1992, to the colony 7 Estrellas to produce coffee. The harvest begins in the month of May and ends in September. The whole family works.

The family consists of four – father, mother, son and daughter.

Coffee cultivation provides income for her household and for the community.

The wife decided to participate in the Cup of Excellence with adapted management in depulped harvest, fermentation, washing, drying, storage and transport.

This event is a good strategy for me to improve the quality of my coffee and a motivation.

We are thinking about investing in improving and expanding our coffee plantations and in education for my children and food.
That they shouldn’t hesitate to buy café ORO from 7 estrellas, because the coffee is produced under a strict control of organic certification.

We participated in a group with my brothers the first year, with my brother Emilio Castro and Pedro Castro in 2008.
