It has been more than 200 years since Honduras began to grow coffee (it began in 1804). According to statistics, the planting area now reaches 280000 hectares, mainly small coffee farmers. 92% of Honduran coffee farmers are small individuals, and most of their coffee plantations cover less than 3.5 hectares. These small coffee farmers account for 60% of coffee production! Coffee is a very important crop in Honduras.

In the coffee garden, coffee farmers harvest red fruits, wash and ferment them and grade them according to the needs of the market to meet the different tastes of consumers. Honduras collects 3 million bags of coffee every year, supplying good quality coffee and unique coffee flavor, large quantity and high quality! Now it has become the largest producer in Central America and the top ten coffee exporters in the world.

Freddie Lionel Castellanos Hern á ndez-Lionel's brother planted a 0.5-hectare farm in 1995, but it was very difficult to get to the site (an hour's walk to get there). And because the farm did not have the harsh weather conditions to produce, his brother decided not to fight again in 2000 and abandoned the project.

A few months later, Lionel told him that if he allowed him to work to make it profitable, his brother agreed and awarded the estate; Leonel began a lot of work and joined the estate, which had been restored in 2002, and from then on until 2010 he sold coffee in the traditional market. The following year, with the support of some producers and exporters, San Vicente, he began to prepare the first batch of specialty coffee. Lionel began to compete in the Excellence Cup in 2015 and has been given privileged space year after year, for example, he ranked eighth this year.

The purpose of his coffee harvest this year is to support their children: one of them was studying in high school in San Pedro Sula, and when the youngest (2 years) was born, she had a problem with her feet. is receiving physical therapy so that she can walk without a problem.
