Jaime Gutierrez Granja El Mirador

My photo

Jaime studied Agribusiness Management in Medellin, Antioquia. As internship, Jaime chose to go to Arbelaez, Cundinamarca to his uncle's farm. Although it was mainly a cattle farm, he wanted to try something radically different and a coffee pilot project was born. After getting his degree, instead of leaving the project he decided to stay and grow it as a business. Currently Jaime is a leader in the coffee community and El Mirador is a model for the other members of the ASOCARS association.
