Hernan has managed El Ocaso coffee farm for the last 7 months, and worked at the farm in other capacities for 4 years prior. His wife cooks in the comedor, although I'm unclear if she worked there previously or only since Hernan became manager and moved into the plantation house (regular workers come from further away).

The workers have to pay for meals, it's not included in their salary. Unfortunately, Hernan's wife's cooking is only fair at best. We bought lunch from her since we were out all day and hadn't brought food.
