History

​

My sister and I represent the third generation of rural producers and coffee growers. Our story begins with my grandfather, José Pereira Miranda, who started from scratch and, alongside my grandmother, Catarina Maria de Jesus Miranda, extracted sustenance from the land for their 14 children. The land has always run in our veins; it has been a part of our lives. For a long time, coffee cultivation was the foundation of our family. My parents, Lucas and Alba, always taught us the importance of caring for the land and valuing everything it provides us.

In 2014, my sister took over the leadership of the technical agronomic decisions on the property after completing her degree in Agronomic Engineering. In 2020, after completing my degree in the same field, I joined her, and we began focusing on the continuous improvement of the quality of our crops, always striving to enhance our knowledge and techniques related to sustainable coffee cultivation.
