We currently have one farmer partner in Carchi, Ecudaor: Beronica Benalcazar. We first met Beronica, Milton Rivadeneira’s niece, at Milton’s plantation in the summer of 2019. There, we learned about Beronica’s farm and her interest in partnering with us once her plants had matured. Two years later, the summer of 2021, this goal came to fruition. Beronica is Z Beans' first female farmer partner!
