History
When Helder Chagas' father, Francisco Ademar Reis, bought the Campo de Aviação farm in 1920, he had no intention of producing coffee, but of raising cattle. But over the years, he realized that coffee could also be part of your business. Then he decided to plant his first coffee plantation, where Helder, as a child, always played and loved when the grains were in the yard to dry. Nowadays, Helder runs the farm he inherited from his father. Always aiming at the improvement of the farm, Helder has new projects, investing in a static box and machines for the production of peeled coffee, mainly to have an excellent quality in the coffees it produces.
