The Brazilian saying ‘Pau pra toda obra’ (jack of all trades) best describes Lucimeire Martin or in short ‘Meiri’. We visited Meiri on her farm during our 2018 Brazilian origin trip and immediately fell in love with this inspiring woman and the amazing coffee she produces.

Patrícia is the third generation of coffee farmers and owns and runs Fazenda Fontaleza dos Borges. Having grown up on a coffee farm Patrícia truly understands and values looking after the land and her employees. 

Adriana arrived in São Gonçalo do Sapucaí as an agronomist and was one of the finalists of the Cup of Excellence 2018, the most prestigious competition and award for high quality coffees. 

Márcia is a true warrior and always is up for a challenge. Unbelievably she harvests with a hand rake 108 kilos of coffee cherries in 30 minutes!

Coffee touches, impacts and empowers many lives but none more so than that of Dulcineia or also lovingly called Dulce. And so it was through coffee that Dulce, who has a visual impairment since her birth, found a purposeful life and a way to apply her other well defined sensory gifts.
