Passing through Palanda and Zumba during the summer of 2019, we found a beautiful, well developed coffee and cacao plantation. As he always does, Arturo immediately halted our trusted driver, Gerrardo, and jumped out of the truck. After a few, “Hellos” - José Mayo came to the gate. After learning his story of perseverance and hard work, there was no doubt in any of our minds - we wanted Jose Mayo to be a part of our team! Thankfully for us, he agreed - and like that, a partnership was born!
