At the beginning of his coffee farming journey, Delfin Lazo, owner of El Diviso farm, planted 4,000 coffee trees in a small area of the farm where he worked. As he hoped for his first harvest and to sell it for a good price, everything was lost in moments. When farm workers tried to remove fallen tree logs that were blocking the road, they accidentally set them on fire. It wasn't long before the fire spread into the farm, ending Delfin's dreams.
But a year after the incident, when he married his wife Estella, Delfin needed a source of income to ensure a better life. He then turned his attention back to the farm. After selling his humble possessions, consisting of a chicken coop and a sewing machine, in addition to a small amount of savings, Delfin returned to tending and managing the farm with his wife Estella after they moved into a small, dilapidated hut on the farm. After his first harvest and heading to sell it, he heard words that were incomprehensible to him at the time. However, the buyers who tasted some samples told him that his coffee harvest had aromatic and caramel notes. Delfin did not have enough experience to interpret this information, but he was determined to learn more and more about coffee and participate in local competitions for coffee producers.
Now, after 48 years spent by Delfin Lazo and his wife Estella producing and exporting coffee to various parts of the world, Delfin, his wife, children, and grandchildren all work on El Diviso farm to produce some of the highest quality and most highly rated crops globally.
