After completing his studies up until the 5th grade, he left school to accompany his father and grandfather doing the work on their family farm. For the rest of his life farming coffee would be his school and his livelihood. From then on he has grown coffee and managed farms, working hard to be able to purchase his own land to grow coffee to be sold under his name. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThey had some bad experiences in trying to sell to international specialty markets, losing a lot of money when one of their lots got mishandled in the system of an exporter. Experiences like this led them to look for a place where their coffee would not only be valued, but celebrated. Faiver and his wife Leidy were visiting the \u003cstrong\u003eMonkaaba\u003c\/strong\u003e cupping lab where they found just that, a network of coffee producers who were there to uplift the producer and give them access to international specialty markets! He brought them samples of his coffee which were so well received that they decided to put their hopes of a positive future in the hands of \u003cstrong\u003eMonkaaba \u0026amp; Semilla\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNow Faiver and Leidy, along with their children, grow varietals that are a reflection of the skill, hard work, and patience of a seasoned coffee grower. His farm now produces \u003cstrong\u003eYellow Colombia\u003c\/strong\u003e,\u003cstrong\u003e Sidra\u003c\/strong\u003e, and\u003cstrong\u003e Pink Bourbon\u003c\/strong\u003e. Faiver says that seeing his name on a microlot that travels abroad reminds him that dreams do come true. That all the effort, the early mornings, the setbacks, and the new beginnings, is worth it when the fruit of the family's labour becomes a coffee that tells their story.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"mcePastedContent\" data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eOn his farm, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eLos Naranjos\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eFaiver\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e harvests his cherries for three days every three weeks to ensure he’s only picking at peak ripeness.
