El Recreo Coffee Estate: CoVid-19 Update

Last year, Bob and I met Miriam Morales at a Specialty Coffee Association (SCA) tradeshow in Boston. That chance meeting has led to a profound relationship with her family and their coffee farm in Nicaragua.

30% of the beans in the cup of Biggby Best that I am drinking this morning is now sourced from the El Recreo Coffee Estate. Read more about their story here.

Behind the delicious coffee is a wonderful family doing important things to better their community. But CoVid-19 is like a global tsunami… a slow moving wave that will reach all shores on our One Big Island. Not all governments are equally equipped to provide services for their people. Nicaragua is the second poorest country in the Western Hemisphere, after Haiti.

We have an update from Miriam about how her family and the people on their farm are weathering this global pandemic, as of last week.

We will keep checking in with Miriam. The people of El Recreo are in our thoughts and in our hearts.
