History 

The farm started 8 years ago.
It was between the Naira's grandfather (Antônio Joaquim de Brito) and father (Antônio Augusto da Silva).
Both bought the farm together.
After Antonio Joaquim de Brito died, they divided the farm between their children.
Naira's mother received the biggest part and started them to take care of the farm.
In the begging was just a forest and they prepared the place to plant the coffee.
They didn't have the idea that the place could produce specialty coffee.
So, they started from scratch and today they produce in their farm special coffee.
Naiara is the most responsible person on the farm because she is an agronomist and her boyfriend
helps her.
She wants to construct a drying yard and static box because at the moment they need to rent a place in another farms to prepare the coffee.
It is worth noting that Naiara wants to improve the quality of her coffee every single day and produce beans of excellence.
