History about
Fundo Poquera
I'll start by telling you that I bought the farm in 2007 because I needed something that my husband would enjoy doing, and that way I could determine if he would enjoy farming when he retired.
At the beginning it was very difficult, because our little farm was sold to me in a very neglected state, full of callacaso (weeds), many pests on the olive trees and to make matters worse I couldn't find people to work, I think it was because it required more effort, so one day tired of being alone and not being able to find anyone to help me and there were those who told me that I had made the worst investment, especially my husband who felt discouraged, I began to look at a cross that is in front of the farm, (The Cross of Poquera) and prayed like this,
"God, tell me if I'm wrong. Show me this isn't for me, and I promise I'll sell it and leave. But I just ask that you show me, please."
And although for many perhaps it does not feel like me, but as soon as I finished asking God, I see a young man pass by, he goes to the neighbor's farm and I began to call him and since there was nobody there, I went out and told him that they were not there and if I needed anything I would let them know and he answered me that he was only looking for work, from that moment I started until today and my husband and I have not stopped working and improving the Farm.
