Our History

​Built by th family Merella-Roldan, this enterprise begins with the desire to overcome and desire to have a company of its own. Jessica Roldan, originally from Cartago, who studied business administration met Victor Merella native of Rancho Quemado, during a job in Drake Bay, some time later they marry and come to rent a house in the community. When there is an opportunity for training with the UCR, they took the opportunity to start this family business, because there are no bakeries in the area. It was difficult, with 2 small children, no money, no equipment and no competent bakery experience, but small opportunities were soon opened thanks to God and the support of the development association where part of the chain of rural tourism was formed. Some donations were received from the Corcovado Foundation, CRUSA, UNDP, IMAS and the technical assistance was managed with the INA. During this process they were able to buy the land with an old house to start housing and business, and after the course of some years it was possible to remodel, process the necessary permits, acquire the equipment and start the sale of mainly baguette bread in the community with a bicycle. Then they were able to buy a 4x4 car to transfer bread to the following communities: El Progreso, Drake Bay and the Plans. Still in the process of buying more equipment to expand production and is projected in the future to have a permanent sales location in Rancho Quemado and complement the bread with fruits and seeds of the forest.
