GREAT THINGS HAPPEN WHEN DREAMS TURN INTO REALITY
What choice was left, but a dream and hard work, for my grandmother (or as I called her, Abuelita), Doña Maria Solis, a single mother of two boys and one girl? Her journey to success was rocky but would end triumphantly.
In the mountains of Lepaera Lempira, Honduras, in the year of 1968, my mother, Doña Zoila Solis, planted her first coffee farm, an accomplishment that inspired my brothers and I to continue her legacy until this day, and we weren't the only people influenced by her determination. She was the first woman to produce coffee in my little town, La Libertad, but by no means would she be the last. With each sip of her homegrown coffee, people from all over, no matter the age, could taste her hard work and profound passion. It may come as a surprise, but in Honduras, even children appreciate coffee! It's another small piece of the grand puzzle in our culture and it is one of many beautiful traditions, to welcome each guest with a hot cup of coffee. With hands of determination, we sowed, grew and harvested the coffee we took home for daily consumption. This didn't just help us keep up a common tradition in Honduras, but it also paved a path for further interests and led to a legacy for generations to come.
Now, my mother has passed the torch to us, and we will carry it proudly. The goal hasn't changed, only my desire to acknowledge the devotion that the producers, like my brothers, Wilmer, Edwin, & Roney, put into each coffee bean for you to experience and savor our coffee.
