Silvestre Justiniano Velásquez Morales, the diligent owner of Rancho las Vegas, has been engaged in coffee farming for the past eight years. His journey began with planting the first coffee bushes to test their adaptability to the local conditions. Over time, Silvestre’s farm has improved significantly, thanks to technical advice on coffee management. With the support of his family, Silvestre has learned various management methods that have enhanced his farm's productivity. The farm, named Rancho las Vegas due to its proximity to a river, now thrives and provides substantial benefits at harvest time, reflecting Silvestre's hard work and dedication.
