Thirty years ago, Raquel and her husband bought a property called La Esperanza and began planting coffee. It was a challenge, however, because the soil had been depleted by a monoculture of yuca. After a long process of restoration, they were finally able to plant some Caturra, which they later replaced with Colombia to combat rust.
三十年前,拉奎爾和她的丈夫買下了一處名為「希望之地」的房產,開始種植咖啡。然而,這並非易事,因為土壤曾經被單一的木薯種植園耗盡了養分。經過漫長的土壤修復,他們終於得以種植一些卡圖拉咖啡,後來為了防治銹病,又將其替換為哥倫比亞咖啡。
In 2019, they began planting the Geisha and Bourbon varieties, replacing their oldest coffee, and finally changed the name of the farm to La Bohemia, because it has always been a place for meetings, gatherings, serenades and everything related to good living. Raquel and her family are committed to help their neighbors and maintain social ties among the community, which is why they founded FUDAM.
2019年,他們開始種植瑰夏和波本咖啡品種,替換了原先最老的咖啡樹,並最終將農場更名為“波西米亞”(La Bohemia),因為這裡一直是人們聚會、歡聚、小夜曲以及享受美好生活的地方。拉奎爾和她的家人致力於幫助鄰裡,維護社區的社會關係,這也是他們創立FUDAM的初衷。
Besides their commitment to strengthening their community, one of their main goals is to improve agricultural practices and minimize negative impacts on the environment. They also focus on improving the lives of women coffee farmers. In summary, Raquel's family has been a leader in coffee production in their region for many years, and thanks to FUDAM, they have improved the quality of coffee and the incomes of hundreds of small producers in their region, while maintaining their core principles of gender equality and environmental stewardship. Raquel is proud to produce wonderful coffee that has a positive socio-economic impact in Nariño and Colombia.
除了致力於增強社區凝聚力之外,他們的主要目標之一是改進農業耕作方式,最大限度地減少對環境的負面影響。他們也專注於改善女性咖啡種植者的生活。總而言之,多年來,拉奎爾的家族一直是當地咖啡生產的領導者。由於FUDAM的支持,他們在堅持性別平等和環境保護核心原則的同時,提高了咖啡的品質,並增加了當地數百名小農戶的收入。拉奎爾為能夠生產優質咖啡而感到自豪,這些咖啡對納里尼奧省和哥倫比亞的社會經濟產生了積極的影響。
