We met coffee farmers Gabriel and his nephew Cal earlier this year and talked about all aspects of coffee farming in Brazil. What we admired the most was their dedication to quality and use of natural fertilisers which is why we chose to work with them and buy their coffee.
The Fazenda Sao Lucas is located near the town of Ribeirao Corrente- which means flowing waters. It is blessed with an abundant supply of freshwater. The farm is found in the region of Alta Mogiana, which is at an altitude of 1020m above sea level and has 50 hectares of preserved rainforest. This beautiful farm receives 1,000 to 2,000mm of rainfall annually.
“We believe in producing a high quality coffee crop. We only use natural fertilisers made in the farm and have our own cattle for this very purpose.”
Fazenda Sao Lucas is farmed by Lucas Lancha de Oliveira who is a sixth generation coffee grower. He followed in his parents’ footsteps, by studying agriculture and becoming an agronomist, and later served in the Brazilian armed forces.
His unique experiences have helped to shape his family buisness, giving the coffee its truely remarkable and distinct taste profile. He champions quality and has gained Rainforest Alliance and UTZ certification. With natural home made fertilisers, which he has created at the farms using his extensive agriculture knowledge and has his own cattle herd for this very purpose.
