Additional information

Both Wil’s grandfather and his father were coffee farmers in Yoro, a region in Honduras where he first learned about coffee cultivation.

In the 1990s, Wil moved to San Nicolás in Santa Bárbara, where he met his wife. Together, they opened a grocery store and acquired a 2-hectare farm.

In 1998, a friend of Wil’s offered him a unique opportunity. He invited Wil to visit San José de Los Andes, also in Santa Bárbara, to consider a possible farm exchange. When Wil saw the property, he was thrilled and immediately accepted the offer. Today, this farm is known as “Finca El Paraiso.”

Since then, Wil and his family have lived happily on the farm, dedicating every square inch of it to coffee cultivation.

It wasn’t until 2015 that Wil discovered his land’s full potential and realized it could produce exceptional specialty coffee. That year, under the guidance of the San-Vicente team, he produced his first micro-lot.
