Growing up in the countryside, William worked at several coffee plantations. With the support of his father, he started planting his own coffee 19 years ago. Now he calls Las Gradas home along with his wife and two daughters. William has plenty of ambition and there are many upgrades he would like to make to his farm. In 2020 William added a new parabolic drying bed. Now he is planing the addition of a wet mill. He currently uses one at a neighboring farm. The ability to earn a better price for his coffee has allowed William to provide for his family and also improve his farm,
