Ricardo Chacón
Ricardo Chacón Bosch is the man behind Finca San Antonio in the South of Guatemala. The mission of growing coffee started 30 years ago with Ricardo’s grandfather. Together with Ricardo, he is still taking care of the farm. It was the beginning of the 90s, but the farm was already in possession of Bosch’s family for over 70 years,
Nowadays, Ricardo is running Finca San Antonio, managing the activities of everyone working at the farm and taking care of the coffee plants. Every day, Ricardo visits the plots on foot and checks the coffee plants, putting in practice what he learnt from his family and his master in agroforestry engineering.
“Coffee is more than a product, coffee production is a culture. It takes so many practices and disciplines to deliver a great cup of coffee.” – Ricardo Chacón Bosch
For Ricardo, coffee is not just coffee. He does not only value the coffee for the purpose of continuing what his grandfather has started. To him, his passion for coffee drives his future ambitions. Ricardo is busy setting up the ideal baseline for his quality so that he can participate in national events.
