Berracas Café
Empowerment Program
As part of our commitment to empowering women in the coffee industry, Berracas Café offers a transformative workshop series exclusively for participating farmers. This empowerment program is designed to strengthen community bonds, foster leadership skills, and promote sustainable agricultural practices. Farmers gain access to hands-on training in areas such as participatory decision-making, agro-ecology techniques, and business development strategies. These workshops are complemented by resources like seed starter kits, garden diaries for tracking yields, and tailored crop rotation calendars.
Through this program, women farmers not only enhance their farming practices but also build networks of support and collaboration. By selling their coffee in Brooklyn under the Berracas Café brand, they directly connect with consumers who value ethical sourcing and gender equality. Every cup of Berracas Café represents a step toward closing the gender gap in agriculture, improving livelihoods, and creating a brighter future for women farmers in Huila and beyond.
