History of the farm
The producer followed in his father’s footsteps in producing co ee. His father also produced bananas and sugarcane, using the latter to make cachac'a.
Jose had his first coffee fields at 11 years of age and his father encouraged him, with the help of their workers, to plant 5000 trees in 1984.
Since then, he has been perfecting his work by acquiring knowledge about working with coffee. He has several coffee farms, one of which is located in the Serra da Mantiqueira, which ensures high-quality coffees, some of which are considered specialty.
