GET TO KNOW OUR FARMERS

MIRIAM ELIZABETH "BETTY" PEREZ

"When we were kids, my grandfather always involved my brothers and cousins in the activities required for the production of coffee. He did not like to take me because he said that girls do not go to the farms, but in the end he ended up doing the oppsite.

He willed his farm to my mother and the tasks assigned to me were to plant coffee, move the coffee picked by workers, and also to pick coffee on grandfather's farm to earn income to buy books and clothes, thereby helping my mother who was a single mother. I am now producing organic, high quality coffee. The vision is to be the heritage of our 4 children, and convey the vision of growing coffee under the principles and values in harmony with nature."
