Delfino Quintero has been a coffee producer in Oaxaca, Mexico since he was 15 years old. He started out working under his father, then at age 20 got his own farm, Llano Largo (Spanish for “Large Hill”). Delfino now has 11 children and has raised them all with the income he receives from his coffee farm.
On the farm he grows Typica, Bourbon, and Caturra. He usually keeps a distance of 2 meters between rows and 1.5 meters between seedlings. Between each row, he places a plant that serves to separate the rows and keep the coffee trees apart. He uses native trees such as ice cream bean trees and avocado to shade their coffee trees. These trees provide not only shade, but also various benefits such as food, ornamentation, medicine, construction materials, nitrogen fixing, and water retention.
Delfino has his own washing station at his house, where he ferments his coffee in wooden tanks for 24 hours, then dries it for 5-8 days on the roof of his house.
