in Alberta

As newcomers to Canada, Martha and Luis launched Colombian Harvest Coffee and Food and La Casita to share Colombian culture and build community in Alberta. After adapting their original business plans, they grew from a mobile coffee shop into a broader presence in Cochrane.

With support from Business Link Alberta, they improved their website, strengthened their digital presence and gained confidence navigating the challenges of growing a business in a new country.
