During the pandemic, Jesús MarÃa Polanco Arias and his family made a pivotal decision: to cultivate coffee together on their farm, El Pencil. With support from agricultural extension services, they spent 18 months maintaining the land to ensure optimal growing conditions.
Once production began, they harvested the coffee every 15 to 20 days, carefully processing it afterward. They performed periodic cleanings and fertilized the crop 3 to 4 times a year, using 80 grams of fertilizer as needed.
The family consisted of six members, four of whom were students. Jesús MarÃa, his wife, and sometimes her relatives—who were knowledgeable about coffee—worked the farm as a team. Their encouragement motivated him to keep pursuing this endeavor.
As a coffee grower, Jesús MarÃa envisioned expanding his operation with one or two more lots, aiming to create a project that would add value and generate employment in the area. His medium-term plan included upgrading the processing facilities with more advanced equipment and machinery.
Through hard work and unity, the Polanco Arias family turned their coffee cultivation into a symbol of hope and resilience, sowing the seeds for a brighter future for themselves and their community.
