Catarina Ramirez Mendez

Catarina Ramírez Méndez lives with her family in Aldea Com, Concepción Huista, where she owns and manages Finca Gomez, named after her husband. Unlike many producers in Huehuetenango, Catarina is a first-generation coffee farmer. She began with just a few small parcels of land, gradually expanding the farm as coffee provided greater financial stability. Finca Gomez now comprises 4.3 hectares, producing Caturra and Bourbon varieties beneath a canopy of Gravilea, Chalun and fruit trees.
