From our Red Fox:
 
Vicente Guevara Cotrina is a coffee producer in the Querocoto district who, ten years ago, made the strategic choice to replace his cattle pastures with coffee trees. Seeking a crop that would significantly improve his family's quality of life, Vicente has turned his effort into a successful reality. Today, coffee is the primary engine of his labor and a vital opportunity for his family’s future on his farm, El Chirimoyo—named for the abundance of custard apple trees (chirimoyas) found on the land.
 
Querocoto is a remote and singular district in Cajamarca’s Chota province. Reaching the region requires flying into Chiclayo, followed by a five-hour drive on paved roads to the town center. Despite its proximity to the famous coffee-growing province of Jaén, Querocoto’s landscape and climate are distinct. Historically, the area focused on cattle ranching, a legacy of its expansive pastures and a cold climate influenced by an average altitude of 2,300 meters above sea level."
