About the family
Eighteen years ago, Clever and his family, originally from the La Pradera rural area in San José del Fragua, settled on their current farm, purchased with savings from their time in the El Prado rural area. Drawn by the soil and water quality and with a farming background, they recognize cocoa as a lucrative and manageable crop. With determination, Clever commits not only to cultivation but also to the preservation of the forest and water sources.
