Yolanda Ramos - Honduras - Gesha

In the scenic highlands of Los Naranjos, Erandique, Lempira, Honduras stands La Palmera La Prosperidad, a thriving coffee farm owned by Yolanda Ramos. The farm is a shining example of resilience and commitment within the Honduran coffee community.

Yolanda's journey began in 2010 when, inspired by her father, she decided to embark on coffee farming. Using her savings from years in the private sector and with her father's support, she initially aimed to plant 8,000 coffee plants. However, encouraged by his optimism, they expanded their ambition to 20,000 plants. The farm faced a daunting challenge in 2014 when a coffee leaf rust outbreak threatened its very existence. Refusing to give up, Yolanda implemented effective control measures and, with the blessing of timely rains, brought the farm back to life. This remarkable recovery led her to name it "La Palmera La Prosperidad," symbolizing faith, blessings, and prosperity.

Aware of the profound impact of climate change on agriculture, Yolanda is committed to continuous learning and adaptation. Through education and training, she refines her farming practices to mitigate negative effects, focusing on soil health and sustainable land management to ensure the farm's long-term productivity.
