Marly Palomino is a dedicated coffee producer from Inkawasi, committed to sustainable farming and ecological balance. Her chacra features volcanic and rocky soils, with guava, citrus, and eritrina trees creating a rich and diverse landscape that supports local biodiversity, including parrots and the native “tuya.”

Using organic compost from the cooperative, Marly nurtures her soil while following the Incan principle of ayni—reciprocal labor that strengthens both her farm and community. With harmful inputs like glyphosate prohibited in the valley, her commitment to environmental stewardship continues to grow. During harvest, villagers come together through ayni to gather coffee, reflecting a shared tradition of care and cooperation.

Looking ahead, Marly hopes to participate in a coffee excellence competition, a goal that reflects her passion for quality, sustainability, and her deep belief that nature is life.
