Ferney’s journey into the world of coffee began with a gift from his paternal grandfather, a plot of land with approximately two hundred coffee trees. At the age of 14, Ferney started cultivating this precious crop, and it has been a deeply rewarding experience. Over the years, he has mastered the intricacies of coffee management, cultivation, and processing. Ferney’s gratitude runs deep, as growing coffee has enabled him to achieve everything he has today.

For Ferney, producing high-quality coffee hinges on three essential factors: a meticulous process, precise harvesting, and thorough cleaning. These elements ensure that each bean reaches its full potential. However, the path of a coffee producer is fraught with challenges. Ferney has faced numerous difficulties, including delays in payments, climate changes, price fluctuations, transportation issues, and buyers unwilling to pay fair prices. Despite these obstacles, Ferney’s resilience and dedication have kept him moving forward.

To maintain the health and productivity of his coffee plants, Ferney ensures they receive clean and effective fertilization. Sustainability is a core value in his farming practices. He carefully treats the organic waste, honey water, and employs living barriers to protect the environment and enhance his farm’s ecosystem.

In Ferney’s community, coffee is more than just a crop; it is the economic lifeblood of the region. Understanding its importance, Ferney collaborates with fellow producers, generously sharing his knowledge to help everyone produce high-quality coffee. What Ferney enjoys most about being a coffee producer is witnessing the fruits of his labor manifest in the form of exceptional coffee quality and receiving fair compensation for his efforts. He dreams of one day acquiring the proper machinery to further refine his coffee processing.

When it comes to enjoying his own brew, Ferney prefers to prepare his coffee in a pot, sweetened with panela. He drinks an average of seven cups a day, each one a celebration of his hard work and dedication. In his free time, Ferney loves to take walks with his children and visit his extended family
