“Dominga Carrasco tends her farm with steady confidence and open curiosity. Married to Amado Flores (uncle of David Flores), Dominga represents an older generation of growers still committed to learning from the next. She has specifically been instrumental in championing Caturro Amarillo—a fragile but rewarding variety that she preserves through careful, hands-on management, and that has influenced many of her neighbors to keep it in their fields as well. El Morito, originally a family operation passed down over generations, formalized as a producers’ association in 2022. Dominga’s role within the group reflects its founding ethos: resilience, transparency, and knowledge-sharing across generations. She processes her coffee on-farm and contributes to a collective effort grounded in individual autonomy.”
