About

Carlos Daniel De Jesús and Griselda started Coyo Organico Farm in 2017, growing their operation from half an acre at an incubator, to now to operating their own 11 acres in Soledad. Throughout their journey in owning a farm, Carlos and Griselda have displayed tremendous resiliency as they’ve navigated language barriers, destructive storms, and limited capital access. In particular, Carlos has experienced a lack of accessibility of business and technical information available in his primary language, needing to translate English into Spanish, and then Spanish into his native language, Triqui. Thus, Carlos has been proactive in engaging community resources to strengthen his business, hiring a bookkeeper, and working with partner support organizations. After thirteen years of tireless work, Carlos and his wife finally felt established enough to bring over their three children from Oaxaca and reunite in the U.S. Now, the family tends to the fields together, working to grow the business that sustains them.
