BRAZIL CARMO DE MINAS - Yellow Bourbon | Espresso Roast

Acquired by the Sertão Group in 1979, the farm was already cultivating crops
and producing coffee. However, in the subsequent years, the farm expanded its
cultivation areas, erected new concrete patios, and invested in coffee
processing equipment. Nestled in the southern region of Minas Gerais atop the
Mantiqueira Mountains in Carmo de Minas municipality, it sits just 3 km from
Olímpio de Noronha city and 25 km from Carmo de Minas.
The Sertão Group maintains a strong commitment to environmental
preservation, prioritising the conservation of vast swathes of native forest and
the protection of all springs and streams within their riparian zones.
Santa Inês Farm is home to 35 registered employees and approximately 80
residents in total. Thirteen families reside in farm-provided housing, complete
with essential amenities such as water, electricity, and sewage facilities, while
the rest live in Olímpio de Noronha City, a short distance from the farm.
In addition to their salaries, all families receive supplementary provisions
including milk, coffee, and medicine.
