Coffee Baskets


The coffee harvest is underway. Augustine, a fellow worker, is assembling a belt for the baskets used in picking. Harvest usually lasts three months and the plants are picked 3-4 times. Each worker receives twenty lempiras a basket(just over a dollar) and can pick seven baskets a day.
