About 10 years ago, the administration of the property was passed to the second generation, which relies on the very important help of the third generation. The family sees working with coffee not simply as a source of income, but as a true passion. The farm measures 169 hectares, 135 of which are planted with co ee. Fifty percent of the coffee fields are Catuai, other varieties planted include Acaiá, Mundo Novo and a small plot of Bourbón. Today the farm uses cutting-edge technology both for cultivation and drying, including African beds, patios and modern mechanical dryers, always with the goal of increasing the quality of the coffees with the hope of achieving greater value for Brazilian coffees in the near future.
