Finca Paya
Meet Nery Pablo
Nery’s farm is called Paya’, a word which means Birth of the River in the Popti Mayan language. It’s the name of this mountainous area where a river begins. Finca Paya can be found in Concepción Huista, a town and municipality in the Guatemalan department of Huehuetenango.
“At first we faced big challenges as coffee producers because we lacked knowledge about agronomy and post-harvest processing. But thanks to Cooperative El Sendero, and thanks to access to microcredit, we have been able to improve the quality of our coffee.” - Nery Pablo
