Alex Aguilar and his family are living examples of the Coffee Growing Tradition in this region. His father worked his entire life in coffee production and passed down all his knowledge as his legacy. Alex then went on to inherit his father’s farm, and since he has been in touch with coffee from an early age, it all came naturally to him. 

Tradition is important to this family, and so they are all involved in the farm. They help pick, process, dry, and everything in between. We discovered Alex’s farm thanks to Beneficio San Vicente and their Specialty Coffee Program initiative, which started years ago.
