Fun fact

This family has 9 kids & excellent red/yellow catuai. We connected them with financing, which they're using to buy more land, care for their coffee, grow vegetables & corn, build a new house, & feed their family. Their small farm spans the Matagalpa/Jinotega border. Their coffee gets excellent readings with our refractometers, which measure sugar content.
