đ Fiesta Pachamama | Celebrating 20 years
"We believe dreams will come true with your support"
- Merling Preza, president and Co-Founder
Building a global cooperative of smallholder farmers took years of resilience and determination. In May, we were able to bring together the original co-founders: Thaleon Tremain, Nicolas Brown, Therese Tuttle, and President Merling Preza, along with board members from around the globe, friends, and family to celebrate 20 years of global cooperation.
This weeklong celebration included meetings with staff and partners, and a special cupping at the expanding Pachamama roastery in El Dorado Hills.
The week drew to a close with an evening of food, dancing, and cherished memories, a heartfelt tribute to Pachamama's late President RaĂșl del Ăguila.
