Rene Fernandez, the hardworking son of an even harder-working father, Juan Evangelista Fernandez, is the second producer to perfect the protocols for optimal Parainema growth in Las Flores. Rene’s family holds great significance—his grandfather was one of the very first settlers in the mountains of Santa Barbara, in what is now known as Las Flores. Their family has been growing coffee since 1970's, before any roads existed which would later link the community to neighbouring towns.
