What makes Parak even more important is its comprehensive approach. It's not just about producing exceptional coffee but also generating a positive social and environmental impact in the region. Firstly, the project creates employment for local women who used to be unemployed during the summer months when avocado harvesting is very low. Now, these women can have more stable employment, thereby improving their living conditions.
Furthermore, Parak addresses the issue of avocado monoculture by introducing coffee cultivation in avocado orchards. This diversification not only protects the soil but also revitalizes the land and promotes more sustainable agriculture. The Criollo Arabica coffee variety, which had almost been lost in the region, is being carefully recovered and cultivated again, bringing with it the hope of a more diverse and ecological future.
Over time, we hope that Parak becomes synonymous with quality and sustainability. We hope that the aromas of our freshly roasted coffee fill the air in your kitchens, allowing you to taste a piece of our land and its mountains. We hope that our customers and friends not only enjoy the quality of the coffee but also the story behind each cup: a story of passion, dedication, and the revitalization of a lost tradition.
