Overview
From the year 1980, my dad helped me buy the farm. I was a small lot and with great efforts Ive been able to gradually increase the area of the farm. During the years 1982 and 1987 the farm was abandoned because of the war, there were heavy combats in the area. Three generations (my grandfather, my father and now me) have dedicated our lives to the coffee production. I think that the dedication of the 100% of the time to cultivation of coffee, the good care of the coffee trees, the water, the soil as well as the love for nature are the key factors that help us obtain high quality coffee. I am so very happy because I feel that the efforts of all of us (family, workers, exporters) is being rewarded.
