MCC Reunion




We had a wonderful time with our MCC team here in Matagalpa. Monday was spent reviewing business items, and then Tuesday we went to Finca Esperanza Verde (literally translated as the Green Hope Farm). A beautiful small resort back in the country, run by the campesinos to promote tourism and learn about Nicaraguan country life. It is also an organic coffee farm as well. Coffee season is just about over, it runs from Dec to Feb. Take a look at the coffee you drank this morning, chances are it was grown and picked here in Nicaragua. 80% of Nicaraguan coffee is exported to the US. We bought some organic, shade-grown coffee and chocolate bars, traveled a trail while listening to the howler monkeys and watching the butterflies. The flowers and view were absolutely breathtaking!
