Segunda inherited Guayacanes from her father, who also taught her everything she knows about coffee. She relied heavily on these skills to support herself and seven children when her husband passed away 20 years ago. Today, her children work beside her at Guayacanes. The farm provides not only the coffee harvest, but also bananas, avocados, and yuca for the family’s consumption. Segunda is hopeful that the farm will continue to support her family for many generations to come.
