Farmer Stories, My Story

Lindsay here again with a quick note. It's the second last night in Costa Rica, we've counted our last bean, and we just celebrated by having dinner with the farmers who have welcomed us onto their farms. It was definately one of my favourite experiences of the trip. I sat in the middle of a table full of Spanish speaking farmers and had a fantastic time. I connected with them, shook their hand, and laughed. Each of them thanked me and welcomed me back like I had a home here. And I've come to think of it as a home; I walked down the street today and saw three people I knew (not from the team!). They are all so welcoming and proud of their country and coffee, it's inspiring. Now that I've spent time , shared food and stories with them, I will see their faces in every cup I serve. I can't wait to get home and tell their stories!
