Maria and her husband have been growing coffee since the 1980s, continuing a legacy as third-generation farmers. Their small farm, just 0.7 hectares in size, is surrounded by fruit trees that provide essential shade for the coffee plants and an additional source of food for the family.
While the farm brings in only modest income, Maria is fortunate to be supported by her children, who live and work in the United States. Thanks to their support, she’s able to continue doing what she loves most—cultivating exceptional coffee.
