About El Rincon Farm
La Bolsa founded the first farm Jorge Vides (Renardo's grandfather) in 1958, located in La Libertad, Huehuetenango. Jorge Vides bought this land, which was then covered with forests, and began growing coffee varieties of bourbon and caturra. At the same time, Jorge Vides worked as a full-time doctor, people from different regions of the country came to him for treatment, he loved his job, but the coffee business was his real hobby.
For his hard work and merits, Jorge was appointed director of the Huehuetenango National Hospital, which is still named in his honor. In 1980, Jorge founded a school for local families on the territory of Finca, which is also named after him. The school is still operating and is authorized by the Ministry of Education.
When Jorge passed away, Renardo's grandmother, mother and aunt continued to manage the coffee plantation.
In 2002, when the farm was already managed by Renardo, the coffee from this farm took second place in the first Cup of Excellence competition for the best coffee from all over the country, and this changed the whole approach to working with coffee. Renardo realized that coffee can be sold directly to roasters and importers, they are willing to pay more for the quality and delicious coffee. Since then, the main goal has been the introduction of new practices in the work of the farm, quality improvement and training. Jacqueline Sabina Morales de Ovalle, Renardo's wife, works at the company as the head of the quality control department.
In 2012, a project aimed at reducing child labor and improving the lives of workers through kindergartens and workshops for children was launched at La Bolsa Farm. Renardo dreams of benefiting the community, just like his grandfather, and is looking for new ways to do this through coffee production. The farms preserve the ecosystem of wildlife and use water carefully.
