About the family
Thirty-five years ago, from El Pital Huila, Pedro de Alejandría and his family, victims of the armed conflict, settled on this land. After months of hard work, they acquired a farm that became their home. Inspired by his father’s work as a sawmill operator and farmer and his mother’s love for the household, they began cultivating cocoa. A crop that not only sustained their family but has become a shield against climate change, protecting the surrounding forests.
