María Rosa Oidor runs family farm, Los Nogales (or ‘the walnut trees‘ in Spanish’), with her husband Alfonso Pillimué and their four children. The farm is situated a thirty minute walk from the small town of San Antonio, where the couple also own a general store. Using the earnings generated by their shop, María Rosa and Alfonso saved the money needed to buy their two-hectare farm some twenty years ago. Since then, Alfonso has remained in charge of the store, while María Rosa manages Los Nogales. During the harvest, María Rosa hikes up the mountain that leads to the family’s estate well before dawn, to check in on the crew of 15 or so pickers that assists the family every year and to organise the schedule for the day’s work. She’s deeply respected by everyone she works with, as she’s just as likely to spend the morning preparing breakfast for her team and family, as she is to pick up a basket to help with the hand-selecting of coffee cherry.
