I have to make this a separate post. These people were great. The only thing I will note is that you should look at the big sacks of coffee that they picked, visible in a few of the pictures. They make the equivalent of around 70 cents per bag, and can pick maybe 3 a day. And the guy shoveling the compost works in the horticulture area. He makes $1.85 a day. Remember that next time you buy coffee. Selva Negra coffee is available in Atlanta from the daughter of the people who run the farm in Nicaragua. I’d highly suggest buying some. It’s unbelievably good.
Pictures for this entry are now on my Flickr in the album Selva Negra, Nicaragua.
