CS-01-N - Cristina Solis

 Cristina began her journey into coffee when she inherited a piece of land from her father. Her family was not involved in coffee previously and the land wasn’t in fact used for any agricultural purposes. It was when she got married, that she and her husband started working on the land for productive purposes. 

One of the first few agricultural products that they planted on the small piece of land was coffee. The couple quickly fell in love with their coffee plantation, and have continued cultivating it with love and passion until today. Every year, they have a small harvest from their 1-hectare coffee farm. Due to the low prices that coffee has been paying more recently, they have also diversified their farm to have a wide range of fruits and vegetables. 

While their 5 children don’t live with them anymore, Cristina wants to leave the coffee farm behind for them.  Her dream is to ensure the sustainability of her coffee farm for future generations.
