| Bean: Note | Yuliana is a fourth-generation coffee farmer, raised on the mountains where she now cultivates her own farm. She left her hometown to study Business Administration in Tegucigalpa, where she met her husband Jorge, a student of Agricultural Engineering from a neighboring coffee community. Their shared love for coffee united them, and together they formed an exceptional team. Today, they manage three small farms. Both are 33 years old and parents of two young boys. In 2011, they bought Finca La Colocha, named after Jorge’s nickname for Yuliana, “the curly-haired girl.” The farm had been abandoned, but they renovated it with a focus on specialty coffee, planting Catuaí and Bourbon varieties at high altitude. Challenges remain, as the farm is on a steep mountainside, requiring erosion barriers to protect the soil. Harvesting is difficult, but Yuliana enjoys walking the farm with her family, seeing each tree as part of their dream. Update 2024 – Like many producers, Yuliana faced labor shortages and climate change, with irregular rainfall limiting fertilization. This required a stronger focus on pruning and farm maintenance to sustain yields. Update 2025 – This year, Yuliana and Jorge continue strengthening direct buyer relationships, giving them confidence in sustainability. They are experimenting with shade management and soil conservation, and plan to test honey processing on a small scale to diversify beyond washed coffees. For Yuliana, coffee is both a family legacy and a passion, now shared with her children. Her vision is for Finca La Colocha to become a symbol of resilience, innovation, and family strength, producing specialty coffees that carry the story of Honduras in every cup. |
