The family’s goal is to improve all aspects of farming – focusing primarily on post-harvesting – with the aim of increasing their specialty coffee production. 160 hectares in total are dedicated to coffee and the biannual average production is 6,000 bags between the two farms, Fazenda Olhos d’Água and Fazenda Santo Antonio. 20% of this production is sold the specialty market, but the aim is to increase this percentage significantly in the coming years. They have won multiple prizes for their coffee’s quality – including placing as National Winners in recent Cup of Excellence competitions. In the 2014/2015 crop year they also we started two relevant projects: organic agriculture and coffee traceability.
