Campesino Estate Coffee: Coffee With A Face
Benjamin Rivera Photos and Quotes |
|
"My dream for the future is to create a paradise here that is full of
nature with both wild and domestic animals. I also hope that the
cooperative will get organized so that everyone in the community has
access to health care, education, and sports. I want all of us to have
the opportunity for a dignified house and life."

"My family's farm was confiscated during the war. When the Sandinista
government came into power they gave us land in Aranjuez. Now I live
with my brother and sister and our father. We all work the land
together. There was absolutely nothing here when we got here, but since
I needed work that was ok." |
|
"A cooperative is the most basic element of the coffee business. It
supports us producers, ensures the farm is functioning well through
technical assistance workshops and encourages the well-being of the
whole family." |

"I like being able to find solutions to problems through my own work and
achieving changes in life for the good of the family." |
