Well my parents just let me know that we have 25 tareas, not sure exactly where. But we have coffee, cocoa and sugar cane growing there. My grandfather, and a few other relatives also own land in DR.

I have done extensive research in how to export dominican organic products to the USA, and stumbled across co-ops such as FEDECARES?

Are these co-ops useful, trustworthy...will it cut profits? I know there are advantages such as easier organic certification, and marketing advantages. But are co-ops worth it?

Well...25 tareas on one plot of land, but we also own more scattered land in el junco, jarabacoa, and i forgot the other spot.

I am not quite sure on the total amount, but it is a nice amount. We also own a tobaco plantation. But that for now is strictly for our premium cigars. Jose Dominguez, founder of Victor SinClair cigars is my uncle.

I just got word today that the coffee crop has spoiled, because no one wants to work the land? Are you kidding me? I am taking a trip in October to get some sort of idea as to what is going on. And why money is being spoiled.

But I digress, I'd like to sell some of these crops to a co-op or some company. Maybe even work out a lease on the land for someone to farm their own product. But I will not let them sell the land.

we know folks in the coffee business here, and work with the Coffee Cluster here. Possibly I could help.
