History of the farmThe Portuguese

immigrant Custodio Ribeiro Pereira Guimaraes acquired hilly lands in the

region known as Ribeirao do Carmo, today the city of Carmo de Minas, in

the south of the state of Minas Gerais in the year 1811. Nestled in the

foothills of the Serra da Mantiqueira mountain range, the Fazenda das

Tres Barras began to conquer its space among the best coffee producers

in Brazil in the 19th century. The first records of coffee production

from the property date from 1864.Coffee processing

systemDue to the slope of the lands where they are

cultivated, the coffees are stripped by hand at the most favorable and

propitious moments onto suitable fabrics, in order to avoid contact with

the ground, from where they are immediately transported to the

processing place. Once pulped, the “cherry” bean is taken to drying

patios, and, if necessary, to a rotating dryer, after which, it is

deposited for a period of 30 to 60 days in suitable granaries for rest.After being processed, the coffees are sent

to the COCARIVE warehouses where they are analyzed and prepared

according to the needs of the market.Concern about

qualitySeeking quality in the coffees produced, without,

however, dispensing with the item yields, we depend on highly technified

and disseminated by COCARIVE in an important partnership with EMATER-MG.
