Background: Jose moved from Nariño to Huila in the early 2000s to escape violence and purchased Finca El Diviso as a fresh start. He often says the land in Huila is so fertile that anyone willing to work can overcome poverty through coffee cultivation. His sons each manage their own plots and experiment with advanced processing techniques.
