About Me:
Retired early from Child Study Team, Newark Public Schools, NJ and started to farm coffee in the premier coffee growing region in Puerto Rico/USA, ADJUNTAS. Sandra and I live on the farm, only a couple of miles from where my father and his parents lived. My wife says I am happiest farming, but I also love selling our exceptional coffee. Sandra loves meeting people as we talk about our coffee. I was born in a coffee farm in the hills of Oriente, Cuba, where my Puerto Rican family had migrated. My cousin in NY took me to NY at age 14 and for over 40 years lived in the area, except for 2 Peace Corps years in Bolivian Altiplano. All along I dreamed of owning a coffee farm to produce one of the world's best coffees. See, be careful what you dream about!
About My Company:
Farm: 225 acres 30 acres of specialty coffee varieties (Bourbon, Catuai, Caturra) Use ecology friendly equipment and methods that use little water, much gravity, little energy and previous year's coffee hull as bio-renewable fuel to dry our precious beans using a heat exchanger.
