2009 Nicaragua Cup of Excellence® Winning Farms - Auction Jul 2, 2008
Lot#: 10 Mario José Vílchez Urbina - Santa Gema
Overview

Thirteen years ago, thanks to an uncle’s advice, I bought the farm. He said “you’ll see one day there will be a good coffee from here”. I slowly increase the area of the farm and now its area is 35.4 acres. It has been a family effort that has brought . This is the third time I have managed to obtain a place in the "Cup of Excellence" competition. It motivates me to keep improving.

It’s been my idea to make of the coffee production our main work activity. It fills me with great satisfaction, since my family has been dedicated to cattle growing but now I think that chosen coffee was a good decision.

I think that our success is due to the dedication, efforts given to the wet milling process. Secondly, washing the coffee with abundant clear water in an adequate time, cutting the beans when is mature enough.

I feel satisfied because this is the result of hard work and efforts, dedication and commitment to what I like to produce… coffee. I thank CISA Exportadora for they good dry milling. This is an effort of the company and the producer.
