My name is Edilberto Urrego Pineda, I am 33 years old. I was born in the village of El Diamante, in the municipality of Gachalá – Cundinamarca. My parents are Carlos Urrego and Evelia Pineda. My family has always been dedicated to coffee and sugarcane cultivation, a tradition that goes back to my grandparents. I started working with them in the field when I was 13 years old, as at that time there was no other option but to work. I completed my studies at the local school up to fifth grade. Years later, I went to the capital of Colombia to work in different jobs, but it wasn’t what I expected, so I had to return to Gachalá and follow my family’s advice, which was to dedicate myself to coffee farming and work towards improving it.

When I wanted to start this project, I was held back by not having enough income for the goal. Therefore, I began working in the emerald mines in the area to raise the money needed to start my project. Once that was achieved, I began planting coffee, and we expanded our crops to 10,000 plants. It wasn’t easy due to the costs and the scarcity of labor in the area, but we had land that we worked with in the best possible way, and today we have access, routes, bridges, tools, and machinery that make our work in the coffee business easier.

Throughout this journey, coffee has given me the opportunity to finish my studies, help my brothers with theirs, fix the family house, and provide for 8 people in our beautiful family.

I must say that through coffee cultivation, I have achieved economic stability, which makes me feel secure in continuing the family tradition and taking it to the next level with this opportunity to showcase the quality of our coffee.
