A Coffee dreamer Turned Entrepreneur

Jose Daniel Vasquez is an entrepreneur, (or coffee-preneur ;) At a young age, with the support from his wife and the inspiration of his year old son, together with Julian and David, his cousing, they created their own roastery that promotes coffee from Andes, Cabresto Coffee to distribute the coffee that's grown all over the region [Antioquia]. His mother Luz Mery, has always been part of the process and his number one fan, he's truly an illustration of resilience - she says. Like many other young people, he inherited his farm from his parents, but instead of selling it and moving back to the city, he decided to pursue the opportunity in front of him and make the best out of it. He lives about an hour away from Andes, Antioquia in a small village called Santa Ines. He has a degree in Agroecological Production and attended the Fermentation Bootcamp from SENA, as well as Specialty Coffee Production from the same institution. Combined with his years of experience, Jose really stands out as a role model for young coffee farmers.
