Jose Rodriguez

Jose Yovany Rodriguez began brewing coffee in 1985. Coffee has always been present in his life as a side gig while he worked in different places to make a living and support his family. As time went by, Jose was able to buy land to plant coffee - which required sacrifices on his end to make it happen. "With a small area of land, this year I began growing 300 plants. Right now, I have about 4 Hectares of coffee." - Jose says.

Jose expressed feeling very satisfied selling his micro lot since it's the first time he sells his coffee directly. This also allowed him to get a higher price for his coffee and continue expanding the land where he works on. Some recent implementations he made on the farm are buying his own pulping machine and a solar panel to use in the house.
