On the green hills of Nariño, where the sun kisses the fields with its golden light, lies the “Los Castañeda” estate, a place where the aroma of fresh coffee and the dedication of a family intertwine in a symphony of hard work and love. The story of this estate begins with a young man passionate about the land and coffee cultivation, who from a young age was drawn to the magic of planting and harvesting.
From an early age, Andrés Castañeda learned the art of coffee from his parents. Days on the estate were filled with lessons on how to build germinators, establish planting systems, and design layout models for the fields. His parents taught him every aspect of the coffee processing, instilling in him a deep respect for the land and the work involved.
At the age of 24, Andrés decided to take a significant step: he bought his own estate. With his new space, the passion and knowledge he had accumulated over the years found a perfect place to flourish. Andrés didn’t just build a farm; he created a legacy. He dedicated himself to refining his skills by attending trainings and meetings with the National Federation of Coffee Growers and the Nariño Committee, absorbing every piece of advice and technique that helped him improve.
The success of the estate is not only due to Andrés but also to his family. His wife, Rosalba Elina Matabanchoy, is the heart that keeps the rhythm of the estate during the harvest season. While Andrés and their five children work in the fields, Rosalba prepares food for the workers and participates in the coffee harvest, ensuring that everyone feels valued and well-fed.
Leidy, Jair, Darío, Ansisar, and Alexandra, Andrés and Rosalba’s children, are not mere spectators in this story; they are active protagonists. With their strong hands and dedicated hearts, they help with soil tilling and every step of the harvest. Each has found their place on the estate, from planting to harvesting, and knowledge is passed down from generation to generation.
The “Los Castañeda” estate is more than a business; it is a family unit where each member plays an essential role. It is a place where teamwork and love for coffee are reflected in every cup that reaches consumers. The Castañedas have demonstrated that when a family works together towards a common goal, they not only grow coffee but also a legacy of unity and passion that endures.
Over the years, as the estate’s coffee continues to improve, the story of the Castañedas keeps growing. Each bean they harvest carries the effort, dedication, and love of a family that has made coffee cultivation their life. And so, on the hills of Nariño, the “Los Castañeda” estate remains a testament to the power of family unity and a love for the land.
