Born in Paraguay, but grew up in Canada, Frank always had a taste for the Yerba Mate so many of us love. Had it from young on.

It all started when a close friend of his talked to him about making Yerba Mate more available in his region in Ontario... that idea sparked this business. He loves it, helping people like him who love Yerba Mate to get the Yerba they need and other related products.

The name Ferba came from his brother who suggested a few names, Ferba was one of them. It was simple and easy to remember.  

Summary:

• Frank and Devin had a conversation about how Devin started his podcast and his journey with yerba mate. Devin shared his motivation for starting the podcast and his desire to create a digital legacy while also promoting yerba mate to a wider audience.
