coffee picking finished

WOW,

We just finished buying 75,000 pounds of green coffee, these are pictures of the town presidents of the 13 small villages.. We have been working hard together having fun in the rain and sun doing our best.

This is my crew of workers who helped me carry

120/// 150lb sacks of coffee per day from Donkey,

to our back, to the truck, off the truck, to this pile

of coffee.. These guys only way 105 lbs and I have no idea how they carry

150lb sack up trucks, mountains, etc.

long, tough, fun road

long rough road.. I ve been driving a truck like this.. The driver in front of my truck made a small bad move and got stuck in nowwhere for a few days... We had to remove all the coffee from the truck and get 30 people to tip the truck over... The roads are the worst roads I have ever seen 20miles of pure muddy potholes.. I can travel about5 miles an hour with truck loaded. Probably would be quicker to walk.

These are our tough men who get to carry the 150 coffee sacks from farm, to ranch and then unload again and again... We each carry 100-150 pound sacks daily which keeps us in good shape and our backs aching..... We hauled 30 thousand pounds of coffee by hand last week...
