At San Lazaro we have the blessing of being able to purchase coffee from small producers on our mountainside like Anselmo Rivera. On our team's last visit, we met his adorable grandson!
Throughout his life, Anselmo has faced many difficulties, but he has always maintained a hardworking attitude. Even with a lack of opportunities and low-paying jobs, he always dreamed of owning something of his own. With the little coffee he harvested, he saved money and built his house, providing a decent roof for his family.
With hands weathered by work, this producer has dedicated his life to improving his coffee plantation. Despite adversity, we know him for his good humor and his love for his coffee plants. By selling his harvest, he and his family have been able to improve their quality of life, meet their needs, and continue growing their farm.
When you drink our coffee, you help us provide fair on-time payment for small coffee producers like Anselmo. Thank you!
