Segundo Pablo Coronado Perez

Segundo Pablo Coronado Perez has owned the farms Finca El Romerillo and Finca El Limón alongside his wife Erika Estela Vásquez since 2022. Their passion for coffee cultivation is an ancestral tradition passed down from grandparents to parents and from parents to children. They are known as a young and responsible family, committed to sustainable and renewable practices in every activity on their farms.

They use many meticulous techniques to ensure the best possible coffee from their farms. Seeds are carefully selected, the land is cared for to be rich in organic matter, fertile land is favored with a pH of 5.5, and they use natural contour lines to guide planting, protecting the soil from erosion.

On their farm, they have implemented sustainable systems such as reforestation to balance productivity and soil conservation; these also act as temperature regulators and windbreaks. Their approach includes contour farming of the plots to prevent soil erosion and degradation. They also perform soil analyses to obtain precise data (pH, OM, and nutrients) and optimize the fertilization of the soil.

Finca El Limón y Finca El Romerilla stand out for their cultivation of varieties such as Gesha, Bourbon, and Caturra. Thanks to the advice and training provided by the Aproagro Gold Coffee association, they continue to grow these varieties.

After selectively harvesting, the coffee is meticulously fermented, washed, and dried.

By improving coffee fermentation processes, they have obtained good quality scores, which have allowed them, as small coffee farmers, to achieve their goals in coffee cultivation and processing. Through the advice provided by Gold Coffee, they are committed to improving and maximizing profitability and increasing the quality of their product, to obtain better prices, thus improving their household economy and stability.
