Indigenous communities or associations: Lenca Historical contribution of the region: An incredible potential in history because coffee is a traditional product of the area and its harvesting helps the economy of the families and the community. Harvesting Practices: Manually with family and hired hand labor. As the farm begins: Without any expectation, I planted the coffee. Over time, I soon realized the importance and the generation of currency that producing coffee gave me. I started with four lots, which is equivalent to 1000 coffee plants. What do you think is the secret of your success? It starts at the beginning; the planting, then the best fertilization and an optimal management of the mill.
