2008 Colombia Cup of Excellence® Winning Farms - Auction October 30, 2008
Lot#: 6 Juan Ramon Giraldo Giraldo - El Hato
I am a 56 years old typical coffee producer. I got my farm from my parents many years ago. Right now I'm living in my farm with my son, his wife and his son. Unfortunately my wife can not live with us in the farm because she has been very sick the last years, so she is living in the closest municipality because she needs permanent medical atention. My farm is mainly shade grown, I have many native trees for this purposes. I also have some plantain trees for the farm consumption. I am also a member of the Cooperative of Coffee Growers, I am very committed with the quality, especially during the hand picking which is not easy in my farm because of the slopy of this area of the department.
