About the farmer:
Josefa De La Cruz Teletor

Twenty-seven years ago, outside the village of Choven in Cubulco, Baja Verapaz, the journey of Llano las Flores farm began. Josefa Teletor and her husband planted a few coffee bushes for their consumption and occasional sale. During harvest season, they often migrated to larger farms to cut coffee, realizing the potential of producing more. Encouraged by this, they expanded their coffee plantings, hoping to turn it into a profitable venture. In the early years, the income wasn’t sufficient, prompting Josefa’s husband to migrate to the United States, leaving her in charge of the farm.

Despite the challenges, Josefa managed to keep the farm running and maintained its production. Her resilience and dedication were crucial in sustaining the farm during these tough times. In 2023, her husband returned to Guatemala, and together they resumed working the farm, supported by their children and a few day laborers. Over the years, Josefa has learned the value of good fertilization, fumigation, cleaning, soil conservation, and processing techniques that enhance the quality of their coffee. Her efforts have been instrumental in the farm’s success, showcasing her vital role in producing high-quality coffee
