About
Finca Oro Verde (Green Gold Farm) is in Copacabana, a village around thirty minutes from Caranavi. After working in road construction and waste collection, Silverio Nina started coffee farming in 2007. Silverio grew up watching his father and grandfather grow coffee and had a good knowledge base coming into the industry and he has added to this experience with help from Agricafe’s Sol de la Mañana program. This program helps local farmers improve the quality and quantity of their coffee with agricultural and agronomy training. Silverio has planted Caturra for its cup profile, Catuaí for its productivity, and Java for its ease of harvest and sweetness. The farm is five hectares in size, three are planted with coffee and two are leased to the local primary school for their use. Silverio currently lives in Caranavi and has plans to build a house at his farm in the future.
