History of the farm
Fazenda Eldorado is owned by Laerce Franc'a Faleiros, a coffee producer, and marketer in the city of Ibiraci, MG for over 60 years. The farm is in the southwest of Minas Gerais, in a region nowadays known as Alta Mogiana Mineira, a traditional producer of some of the best coffees in Brazil which has a fortunate combination of elevation and mild temperature throughout the year, and coffees that present a high level of natural sweetness. The elevation in the region varies from 1080 to 1270 meters above sea level. The total productive area of the farm is 150 hectares of coffee and there are several varieties, such as Red and Yellow Catuai, Acaiá, Mundo Novo and Catucai. For years the family has produced traditional natural coffees using the dry method. In 2013, Laerce and his sons changed the focus from simply high production to the production of high-quality specialty coffees.
