Los Nogales farm is a fifth generation coffee farm, run by family members Oscar, Angie Hernandez and Anibal Plazas; Located in the majestic Bruselas, in famed Huila. Ricaurte Hernandez, youngest son of Ricardo Hernandez and Concepción Castillo was born in 1952. His profession was always coffee farming and he dreamed of being able to see his children grow up on his farm with the values he learned.
Ricaurte always wanted to promote the field from other perspectives, giving added value to specialty coffee, promoting new ways of treating the soil, seeking new ways to market and do business, a passion that he passed on to his children who would inherit this philosophy. Through a family tragedy his youngest son Oscar Fernando Hernandez takes over the farm, and runs it today with Angie Hernández, the youngest of the family.
Angie is 24 years old and is an industrial engineer, in charge of studying the world of microbiology, searching for fermentation techniques that will give the result of a cup of excellence. Her office is a laboratory in the mountains of the Bruselas township and her experimentation space is the coffee plantations that her father cultivated for her.
