María Bernardina, 33, is a homemaker and farmer. Thanks to her parents' financial and moral support, she also is a certified public accountant. She and her husband have just one son, who is a blessing. She and her husband farm because there isn't local work for her to practice her accounting career, much as she would like to.
She began to farm as a child, and her parents encouraged and taught her how to work the land, as this is a family trade. Her customers are neighbors, relatives, friends, and some distributors who come to the area to buy quality, safe merchandise. She and her husband own the land they work, which she inherited from her parents. It is close to their house, and they walk to it each day.
As a farmer, she wants to expand her vegetable crops and plant new ones, as the land is appropriate and fertile. As a mother, she wants to give her son all he needs to study and accomplish his goals and dreams. She has applied for a loan to buy farming supplies and certified potato seed to take better care of her crops.
