Description

Finca La Esmeralda Lili Peñalva - Farmer Lili's love for coffee and the environment dates back to her childhood, a love that Lili wants to pass on to her next generation. In 1908, her grandfather, Vilgilio Peñalva Guevera, started his coffee production and approximately 40 years later, he passed on to the next generation with her father, Virgilio Peñalva Sauzo, who began farming small coffee plantations in Honduras. Over time, her father managed to grow the farm, including larger amounts of coffee.
