Overview
I bought the farm LA CAROLINA from Mrs. Eloisa Carrazco. I had 12
acres of Caturra and the process was so rustic and a very small
production. When I obtained funds to expand the production, I was able
to grow and now I have 21.24 acres of bourbon, pacamara and caturra. We
have a wet mill, pulperos and a vermiculture farm.
My secret is from the beginning, to explain to the workers (picking)
to select the coffee at the correct time for picking, not cut the green,
dry or fermented beans, to obtain good quality. Paying attention to the
washing the coffee with clear water. We also treat the personnel in a
good way, giving them their pay in a timely manner, as well as providing
them with good food.
I feel happy, happy, happy! I already feel this like a prize and I
think it’s worth the effort to continue to improve the quality and
continue to participate in the Cup of Excellence Competition. This also
includes the happiness of my family. We are very proud of this
achievement.
