The farm El Común, is located in Bomboná municipality in Nariño, very close to the Galeras volcano. The farm has 6 hectares and approximately 30.000 coffee trees of Colombia variety.
At first, the farm was mainly for cattle production, when Laura’s father, called Julio Arteaga bought the farm 60 years ago. The cattle business was not profitable, and he decided to harvest coffee in 1991, by planting some Colombia and Caturra trees.
Laura received part of the farm from her father, that she is able to manage with the help of her three older sons. They have different responsibilities in the farm: Jimmy Orlando is the responsible of receiving the cherries and delivering in the depulper, Jesús Eden is the one in charge of washing and drying the coffee and the youngest son, Andrés Dario is the one that does se selection of the best beans and sells the coffee. Laura is the one responsible in supervising every process, specially the picking to guarantee that all the cherries are in the perfect ripeness level.
Laura and her sons are very close to each other. They are passionate about coffee. They are happy to be one of the finalists of Colombia Land of diversity 2020.
