|
La Rosa
At his 72 years, Mr.
Fernando lives his life minute by minute, always with his vision into
the future, passionate for the earth and the work. This is how you can
describe Mr. Fernando Vindas, an engineer and agronomist, where there is
no day that he doesn’t admire the gifts that the earth gives to us
everyday, hoping that life gives him the physical and mental strength to
continue working, and to be able to take care of his cows and his coffee
plants.
At the same time, he enjoys his great treasure that
is his family, and very specially his four grandsons, to who he
remembers the sacrifices and fights he had to face in life, in order for
them to learn to love and to take care of his "matitas de coffee" (
coffee plants).
Nevertheless in the last years, the instability of
the prices for coffee made him ask himself, if all the effort put in
this crop was worthwhile. Economically it did not feel that it was a
good business, but his passion did not allow him to end his dream. He
was the one that convinced his family to give a last opportunity to his
coffee plantation, betting to the quality. This way, the family took
with enthusiasm the coffee plantation, becoming the axis where at the
moment his family moves.
