Mario Roberto Sosa was born in 1927 and began working at the age of 12.
When he was 20, he purchased a truck and started a local transportation business before marrying Raquel Lopez and raising 7 sons.
Mario and Raquel began growing coffee in 1966 and in 1972 established Los Laureles II.
They planted the farm with traditional cultivars for the area- Pache, Caturra, and Bourbon.
Maragogype and Gesha were added and most recently, Anacafe and Marsellesa have been planted alongside avocado.
These crops have unique flavor and characteristics which means a more diverse range of buyers interested in the coffee.
