Hernán grew up watching his father dedicate his life to coffee production. When he inherited a small plot of land, he followed in those footsteps, establishing his own farm. Together with his wife and two children, Hernán depends entirely on coffee for their livelihood.

For many years, he sold his harvest to local intermediaries, unaware of its potential in specialty markets. With the support of partners in Intibucá, he learned to prepare and dry his coffee with greater care, opening the door to international buyers.

In 2015, Hernán entered the Cup of Excellence for the first time and proudly earned second place. This achievement not only brought recognition but also strengthened his determination to improve his family’s living conditions.

Today, Hernán is deeply committed to sustainable practices, carefully managing rust disease through fertilisation and replanting when needed. His dedication continues to bring hope and opportunity for his family’s future.
