After meeting a very special woman natural from Monte Carmelo, and upon meeting her family, I was invited by my future father-in-law to become his partner in a small coffee plantation. As I had experience in agriculture while growing cocoa in the State of Bahia, it was not a hard decision and our partnership began in 1988.

Castelhana, Monte Carmelo – Brazil
As the fruit matures, a monitoring of the plots is done, accompanying each plot so that the decision to start the harvest is taken. When the fruits are at the ideal maturation point, the harvest begins. At Fazenda Castelhana, 20% of the harvest is manual and 80% mechanized, both carried out in order to harvest the maximum of ripe fruits aiming at the quality.
