About the family
Seven years ago, Eliberto arrived Caquetá from Garzón, Huila, with a dream: to buy his own farm. He inherited his father’s vocation for agriculture and his mother’s love for home. He established coffee crops, bringing the seeds from his beloved Huila, where coffee was a tradition and a highly profitable business. Today, he has decided to continue with coffee cultivation while also focusing on conserving forests, water, and biodiversity.”
