History

​

The Santo Antônio farm began its history in 1984 when Tomé and Madalena got married and built the headquarters on the land inherited from Madalena. Initially, there was no coffee planted, and milk production was the first activity. However, Tomé, who already had previous experience with coffee farming, established a small coffee plantation. Over time, he gradually planted more coffee until the entire area of the farm was covered.

Tomé and Madalena had two children, Carolina and Giovane. Both studied and graduated but chose to give up their careers to manage the family business. Giovane is currently in charge of the farm, striving for growth in a responsible and sustainable manner, continuing this family legacy.
