Don Millo is the third generation to own Los Cipreses, ‘the cypress trees’, which works to maintain biodiversity and balance with the natural environment. Emilio has mentioned to us that thanks to his direct trade relationship with Project Origin and other international buyers sought through Bridazul he has been better paid for his crop. Earning more for his harvests means he can invest more towards his farm and pay his pickers more for their work. By being able to commit to pay his workers more, the result of the picked cherries is of a higher quality, and they return to work each year for the harvest period. This beautiful circle is what inspires Project Origin to work and collaborate with producers like Don Millo, and the quality of coffee that comes from these collaborations is like the icing on the cake.
