How is it to be an organic coffee farmer?
This is Gabriel Calderon I Have worked in the coffee industry since I am a kid. I was born on a coffee farm that belong in the family since 1950's So I started same as many many kids in this town. Being a son of a coffee farmer. Playing around the fields And soon Working on the fields. Maybe they call it now child labor. But I grew up enjoying, Learning And I didn't feel I had to work and work hard. So that gave me the courage the knowledge and the enthusiasm to keep farming. Same as many kids nowadays, They are told to leave the farms to make money. My dad told me that when I was a teenager. Because our changed to organic farming was going to make us lose our farm. So I studied English A little bit of computers. Work for a Company for a few years and then realize I am missing a lot by not being on the farm. So I came back work with my dad And try some projects by myself starting roasting coffee which we didn't do before, Started learning what else we can add to farming to
