• Farm history / family / why the name of the farm?
My father owned these lands, and they already had that name, but he inherited all his children so that we could work. I live in a place that is 100% pure coffee, and my dad has always dedicated himself to this crop.
He always supported me in handling the coffee during the time I was studying and I had to meet other classmates, do homeworks and tasks, so when I had free time I would come with him here and he would explain to me how all the handling was and so I copied everything he said.
I have always liked to know where the process begins, for example the bag filling, the seed, after that the planting, I was always interested and now I already work on my own plot.

I have a brother from my father and mother, who is also in the cooperative, and there are o 8 brothers from my father’s side, two of them younger than me, they also work in the cooperative. Our parcels are linked, so we all help each other in the management of the parcels and at the time of harvest we distribute the tasks.
