This coffee is a story of persistence and the will to build something of your own. Don Juan Carlos Osorio started working on his family farm at a young age, building his relationship with the land in Tarqui. at just 19 he was married and had a newborn child. With a young family to support, he felt a need to forge his own path and build a stable future. As he left his parent's farm, he worked himself up to manager at farms in Pitalito and El Pital. This allowed him to learn and deepen his knowledge of agriculture, while his desire for something of his own grew. When he returned home he bought a small plot of land but continued to work on neighbouring farms to sustain his family and to invest in his dream. The land he bought was overgrown scrubland, so clearing it to prepare for farming was slow and hard. To prepare the soil, he started planting green beans and tomatoes. When the time finally came to plant coffee, it was under difficult conditions. His land is located in an area that is hard to access, with a steep slope. Several times the heavy rains have triggered landslides that put his production at risk. Despite all this, he has not given up. In many ways, the hardships and challenges have reinforced his commitment to the land, his family, and his determination to produce quality coffee.
