“La Esperanza” Estate, Mozonte

Esperanza del Carmen Tercero Moncada

You may say that Doña Esperanza is the typical Nicaraguan woman: very hard worker and dedicated to her children. As an authentic northern woman, she has the virtue to produce in the mountains of Mozonte, the unique aromatic coffee, which is participating in the “Excellence coffee cup” contest.

Together with her husband they have shown their commitment with the environment and the natural surroundings, by placing signs near their lands, indicating that the hunting of wild animals is prohibited as well as the felling of pine trees, a much desired timber by the merchants of this item.

“You should see …. We are always keeping an eye on those bandits that take advantage of this region that is kind of deserted….but thanks to the army of Nicaragua and to the workers of the farm…. Things are changing” states with optimism.

This northern peasant family manages La Esperanza and the neighboring farm Villa Fontana. They hope that due to the great quality of their coffee, they will get better prices in the coffee auction. They also plan to cultivate more parcels (she tells us while being next to her husband Daniel). This is the best heritage that we may give to our children and to Nicaragua. In this way they will provide to this region of Nueva Segovia, which is blessed by the climate, with bigger coffee plantations.
