About Us
Our story begins in the 1800s in Sonson, Antioquia, Colombia. Located about three hours from the State Capital, Medellin, Sonson has always been an agricultural town and more specifically, a coffee-growing region. You have sugar cane, corn, cattle, and nowadays the most significant production of avocados in Colombia, but it is still a mountainous region perfect in altitude and other conditions for coffee. Our grandparents on our mother’s side, Alejandro and Alicia Botero, came from Sonson, and our grandparents on our father’s side Felipe and Lucila Botero, also came from Sonson. The Botero bloodline traces back to Italian immigrants that landed in Sonson in the 1700s.
Four of us were born in New York City when our dad was studying at Hofstra University in Nassau County as part of an award he received from then Colombian PresidentGeneral Gustavo Rojas Pinilla, after receiving the Medalla de Boyaca (medal of honor for the Colombian military).
