Gladis Yolanda Hernandez – Caturra, Lempira

Gladis’ eight manzana farm is located in San Juanillo, Intibuca. With the help of twenty-five seasonal pickers, they have been operating their eastward-facing farm for over ten years.

“I send you warm greetings and would like to you know that we cultivate our coffee with much toil but also much love, hope, strength and perseverance so our coffee can make it to ‘las ultimas estancias’. I would also like to invite you to consume and buy our coffee that we produce with great effort and quality. I would like you to hear our story, and to learn the process that it takes to get the beans to your hands. Also to see the farm and see the distance we travel to take it out to Coaquil. I would like you to get to know our family and the sacrifice they make to prepare the coffee. I invite you to pray for my family, for our health and that our harvests could increase.”
