Fazenda Serrinha is the very first farm purchased by José Maria De Oliveira in 2004. Everything on the farm, José constructed with his bare hands, including the very first light post on the property. The main house on the farm is located on Fazenda Serrinha where José and his family resides. The farm is home to the drying patios, raised beds, wet mill, silos, orchard, garden, and horse stables. The farm elevations range from 1000 - 1280 meters above sea level and are located in the only city in the entire country where the Atlantic Forest converges precisely with the Cerrado Mineiro. Combining both biomes presents an ideal combination of precipitation and acidity from de Cerrado Mineiro soil. Regional micro-climates are also an ideal circumstance that allows our coffees to consistently showcase its uniqueness and versatility as a result of the regional micro-climates.
The coffees produced at the farm are Rainforest Alliance Certified, UTZ Certified, guaranteeing sustainable practices and social and economic benefits to the region of Cerrado Mineiro
