History of the farm
Mr. Gabriel Anto nio Madeira has always worked with coffee and today it is how he and his family make their living. He began young, helping his father plant and care for crops. Like almost everything in life, it was not easy in the beginning. The first seedlings plantings were tests to get things right. Gabriel produced some seedlings himself using popcorn bags. Over time, things evolved. Quality of life, and of work, improved.

An agronomist from the region visits the farm frequently to help and follow the development. Today, Gabriel and his son, Luciano, know exactly which points they need to give attention to and how to treat each plot of land. The craft has advanced, and today the two are responsible for an annual production of around 450 bags.
In addition to Luciano, Gabriel and Marta also have Marcos, a special needs child who loves coffee and all of the work that his father does. Marta says that the land has given them everything and that Gabriel wishes his father were alive to see everything that they have achieved through many struggles that began many years ago.
