Joel’s father became a great coffee producer when he was a child, his father could build big farms in the region; since he was 11 years old, his father took him every day to work at the farm. When Joel was 18 years old, his father made him an administrator of a plot of the farm. In 1994 Joel could buy his first farm that was very small but he was very happy to work on his own farm. 

In 2008, for the first time, Joel heard about specialty coffee, thanks to the competition of Cup of Excellence in Honduras and the San Vicente mill that supported a lot to participate to some of his neighbours; little by little, they were well known to the world. So, since 2011 Joel had access to the specialty coffee market and prepared his first micro-lot coffee.
