History

In 2004 Thiago's father, Mr. João Dutra, bought the White Flag site to raise milk cows, but as it was not profitable enough, they decided to sell the cows and invest in the coffee plantation. In 2015 they decided to increase the coffee-growing areas. Nowadays, Thiago is responsible for all the work in the coffee plantations. At the post-harvest time, Thiago's sisters come to the site to help. Although very young, Thiago is a big entrepreneur and wants to further improve the quality of the grain produced on the White Flag site.
