We went to Jarabacoa not long ago and there's a wonderful coffee plant nearby that is totally in to the organic raising of the coffee and processing of the beans. Remarkable as nothing goes to waste, they use EVERY part of the plant from the bean pod for fuel to the ashes to clean the water before it goes back in the river.

That plant is Monte Alto. It belongs to close relatives of my fiance, Alida. They do a fine job with all their coffees, not just the organic. Alida's family has been involved in growing some of the best coffee produced in the country for over 60 years.
They are better if you got a spoil-system job or a macuto ...... If you are an average joe.. that have to live by the sweat of your brows... you work to just be able to eat. Most Dominican can only eat... like those on the freeway exist will work for food..sometimes this individual have and maintain a high standard of living and will fight to maintain their spot. is the coming road sign here.
