History and description of Producer Farm and/or Association:

Omar Olayo is a very unusual producer of coffee. He has dedicated the last few years to deliver all the time he requires to his mother's inheritance. Damaged in previous years by the trade of "coyotes", low prices and rust attack. Julio has decided to invest all his time and effort in looking for an opportunity for a direct market that appreciates the quality of his coffee. The history of being a coffee grower was born thanks to his grandfather who in 2005 inherited the farm from his father on the foothills of the "Volcan de Agua". That same year the father of Omar dies and his mother, Mrs. Silvia Pereira, becomes the administrator. In 2006, when Omar graduated from school, he started working at a company that maintained coffee mills and that is where he began to become more involved in the coffee industry. It is until 2011 when Omar decides to take over the management of Finca La Chucita but it is until the 2014/2015 harvest that he manages to get his first coffee production. The coffee was processed in the adaptation of a depulper and a bicycle, fermented in the "PILA" of his house (Pila is a small water tank commonly used by families in Guatemala). And finally dried on the terrace of his house. Since then we have worked with Omar, supporting better quality control and looking for a market for each batch of coffee. The last year we build African beds to improve their drying process at his house. His grandfather told a legend about this farm: Every day at 12:00 p.m., a rooster sang in the center of the farm and many people said that it was because there was a treasure buried by Spaniards. One day the grandfather came to the farm and found a huge hole made by people who were looking for that treasure. Until today it is not known if it is true but many people still repeat that story.
