ALEXANDER HERNÁNDEZ
PRODUCER
Alexander was born in 1982 and is from the municipality of Valparaiso, in the Colombian region of Caquetá, a place deeply affected by armed conflict. This situation made him a victim of the conflict. In 2007, he arrived in Pitalito, Huila, as a result of forced displacement.
His farm, La Esperanza, was already producing coffee before he took over. Since then, he has been cultivating specialty coffee. Currently, he works alongside his wife and four children. They have 12 hectares of coffee and grow varieties such as Caturra, F6, and Castillo, and are Rainforest certified.
Alexander’s goal is to improve the quality of his coffee and the infrastructure of La Esperanza farm, in order to improve the quality of life for his family.
