From KB:
 
"Roberto's father was originally from Santa Barbara, and one day he bought a property in El Cielito, a small village in the region. He decided to plant coffee, just as his father had taught him. He and Roberto's brothers helped his father a lot, preparing the coffee nursery and planting coffee trees.
 
Portillos has always had good quality but has always sold its coffee to the conventional local market at low and irregular prices.
 
Over the years, Roberto's father divided the farm and gave it to his sons as an inheritance.
 
'I continued working on the farm, the same way my father taught me. Now my son is my right-hand man and manages all the farm activities.'
 
Five years ago, they changed the farm's coffee variety, mainly to parainema, which gave them the opportunity to enter the specialty coffee market.
 
'Two years ago, we started preparing our first microlot of specialty coffee. "Thanks to this, we now have better prices and better income!' says Roberto."
