    Hi everyone I am a Kiwi now living in Jericó, Colombia. I live on a la finca in the beautiful mountains of Jericó with amazing 360 views. The house I beautiful stay and you are given your own private bedroom and bathroom. I have worked in the Coffee industry for close to 15 years and now my journey has lead me to we’re the important work needs to be done, with the farmer. I am at the beginning stages of setting up a coffee processing plant on the farm and buying coffee from local farmers. I am in need of urgent help as the harvest is now in progress and I still have a lot of work to do. The farm looks over the main town and transportation is a 10min drive and 30min walk into main plaza. The farm is also a working dairy farm with fresh milk and eggs every morning. Also Avocados and fruits on the land to pick freely.

    There is interaction with local coffee farmers and knowledge sharing about coffee processing. The la finca is also a working dairy farm with cows and chickens. Mario a local farmer is always on site attending to the farm and milking of the cows is every day. You will visit the local coffee farms with me to meet the coffee farmers and help in any way we can.
