Antonio inherited the farm from his dad, who distributed his farm as smaller plots among all his children. Initially, Tony planted only basic grains like corn and beans. But he also tells that it has always been his dream to have a coffee farm. And at a young age, when he didn’t have anything yet, he started to work on different coffee farms to learn and gain experience. In 1991, the first coffee tree was planted. Slowly but steady, Tony increased the number of trees and the production. After 25 years, Tony concludes that his dream has come true. It taught him that his perseverance has paid off.
*We roast Monday-Wednesday. Please note that all retail orders ship USPS ground and usually take 2-4 business days to arrive depending on location. For all 5lb bag orders, please advise that due to our roasting schedule, if your order for a 5lb bag comes in on Wednesday after 10am, or later in the week, we may not have enough coffee on hand to fulfill your larger order, and will revert to the next Tuesday to ship you out fresh coffee.
