About: At Finca La Gloria, coffee has long been part of family life, hard work, and the belief that opportunity can be built from the land. Kerly Ciclos Cometa grew up helping her father on the farm, learning to care for coffee trees from an early age. As a child, she picked coffee by the kilo, often choosing the rows with fewer cherries so she could finish faster, a memory she now recalls with humour and affection.
Today, Kerly and her husband manage their own inherited parcel at Finca La Gloria, cultivating coffee alongside other crops while continuing to shape the farm’s future. Surrounded by a river and built through generations of family effort, the property has become a place where the family can gather, rest, and enjoy the land they have worked together.
This lot placed 15th in Colombia’s Auction for Peace, recognising the quality and care behind Kerly’s work.
