In the heart of Minas Gerais, with its lakes and rich farmland lies the well-known coffee growing region of South de Minas. Marcelo and Adolfo are cousins and their family has always been working with coffee culture, bonding them as associates as well. Fazenda Lagoa's first coffee plantation was established over 100 years ago. Marcelo is renowed by his contribution to the specialty coffee's promotion in Brazil alongside with BSCA and Adolfo is considered to be a pioneer when comes to high quality and sustainable production. He's been the responsible for the farm's management and all the coffee grown at Lagoa is prepared at Fazenda Passeio - Lagoa's neighboring farm.
Lagoa is located in an area that is favorable for coffee production, with a mild climate during part of the year and mountainous relief. The harvest is 100% manual, aiming the quality of the cherries and also due to the sloping relief - a big machine would not be able to work in there. The workers come from the cities around to work during the harvest and post-harvest season, the same ones that mind Fazenda Passeio's crop, and part of the team live in the farms' houses.
