Introducing Serafín Calderón Zamora, a visionary coffee producer. With one year of owning "El Tirol" farm in Ciénaga, Magdalena, they've embarked on a remarkable coffee journey. Their 26-hectare estate, nestled at 1750 meters above sea level, hosts 40,000 trees, including Arabica, Colombia, Castillo, and Cenicafe 1 varieties. Despite the recent start, their dedication and care have yielded a thriving first harvest.
But this story is more than coffee. Serafín's family, consisting of Gladys, Yuranis, Jhon Anderson, and Yarleidys, shares the dream. They rely on their store for income, complemented by the bountiful harvest. Their tight-knit unit cherishes the lush environment, conserving both water and forest.
Amidst the challenges of Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta's unpredictable weather, Serafín and their family persevere. Their ultimate goal? Embrace a life on the farm, expand production, and contribute to the nation's thriving coffee industry. For them, coffee isn't just a beverage—it's a source of sustenance, a testament to resilience, and a brighter future.
Attached are captivating photos of their familial bond, the picturesque estate, dedicated workers, and the remarkable coffee lots—vivid snapshots that showcase their journey, passion, and determination.
