It is said that Oakland Manor covers an area of 45ha's next harvest with a target of 120 bags. It pays more attention to quality than harvest, so it is very limited by climate, rainfall and other factors. About 40 harvesters were employed from the village during the harvest period. These people were not people who went out to earn money, but the whole family sent out to harvest. Of course, children are also picking coffee. In Brazil, even parents who ask their children to carry heavy objects are punished by the law, and here in Guatemala, they naturally help their families with harvesting in order to make a living.
