Familia Mijahuanca Human comes to us from the Peña family’s 45 hectare farm, Las Palmas, in San Ignacio, Peru. Juan Francisco Mijahuanca Pena has owned the farm for 40 years after inheriting it from his father.  Today, Juan and his wife Cruz take care of the farm with their children, Mirian, Onaida, Humberto and Hector. Las Palmas is located in the buffer zone of the Tabaconas Namballe National Sanctuary.  Because of this, they often see a large variety of wildlife around their farm, from exotic birds to howler monkeys. COOPAFSI was established in 1969 in an effort to promote gender equality in coffee production and has focused heavily on ways to improve coffee quality and the livelihoods of its members.
