Our latest journey to visit the world's best coffee farms brought us to beautiful Costa Rica, where we were greeted with lush green hills, colorful homes and such friendly people. Pura Vida! is their way of life, meaning simple life or pure life. I must say that Costa Rican lifestyles are something to be admired!  Locals live very simply and appear to be some of the happiest people, regardless of their wealth or stature.  

Yuri Mireya Ledezma Baos and her husband, Hugo Antonio Rodriguez, manage their coffee farm and vegetable gardens. Yuri and Hugo have two beautiful daughters - Breiner Rodriguez Ledezma, and their new daughter, Dari Saried Rodriguez Ledezma, who was born in July 2018. Hugo is also a driver for a local transportation company. Hugo's father, Hugo Antonio Rodriguez Sr., also lives on the property and helps contribute to the success of this impressive coffee farm.
