Coming from a coffee-growing family, he learned the craft from his grandparents, whose knowledge and experience continue to shape his work today. After spending many years working alongside his family, he began managing his own plot about a decade ago and has since devoted himself to producing high-quality coffee under his own name. His goal is to create a distinctive product that not only reflects the potential of his farm but also allows him to increase his income, reinvest in his operation, and reach new markets around the world. 2025 marks an important milestone for Efren, as it is the first year he is exporting coffee through Semilla, our importing partner. It is so exciting to witness this journey and we are so excited to see his coffee being enjoyed far beyond Honduras!
