History
I came from a typical coffee growers family. Unfortunately
my parents passed away when I was quite young, so I took charge of the farm
when I was 16 years old, so I got married soon. Now I live in the farm with
my wife Claudia and my children Nixon, Jennifer and Oscar Jr. I am a member
of the Associative Group COOMAGRO, all the farms that belong to the group
are Rainforest Alliance Certified.
Environmental Care
As Rainforest Alliance Certified I have a special control
of the natural resources, water sources, native forest, wildlife, etc. I
don't throw directly the residual water in the brooks, firstable I do have
to process this residual water in septic and filtered tanks.
Coffee Processing Information
The depulping process is done using a minimum amount
of water. I also have a tank for the fermentation. The fertilizing process
is done using the pulp and also chemical products. The drying process is
done in the "parabolic drying system".
