History
I was born in the Samaniego Municipality 42 years ago. The farm was originally from my parents and 20 years ago I bought it. My family is conformed by my wife, and two daughters and we both work very hard in the farm. We were Cup of Excellence Winners in the Second Competition of Colombia one year ago. And after my commitment with the quality I have had a new chance to go to the auction with a better ranking.
Environmental Care
We have a septic tank for the liquid wastes. We use the pulp of the coffee as organic fertilizer and we dont apply chemical pesticides for pest control.
Coffee Processing Information
The fertilization is done twice per year with chemical products and additionally we apply the pulp of the coffee. We do cultural control for broca (re re). The main crop in the farm is from April to June.
