Finca Los Nogales is a family venture, so it's hard to talk about one specific person. For us, however, its face is the charismatic Oscar Hernandéz, the leader of the entire project.

Oscar belongs to the third generation of coffee farmers cultivating coffee in the south of the Huila department, near the town of Bruselas. He is a man full of energy, always positive and innovative – not only for his family, but also for the entire local community. His father, Ricaurte Hernandéz, was the first to prove what is now obvious – that the best coffees in all of Colombia can be found in Bruselas. In 2006, he won the Colombian Cup of Excellence, and as locals say – it was thanks to him that the world heard about Bruselas.

Ricaurte "put" Bruselas, and with it the entire Huila department, on the specialty coffee map. Today, Oscar continues this tradition – thanks to him and his innovative approach, Los Nogales has become a center of innovation and knowledge for all active, engaged farmers in the region.
