History of the farm

To describe Fazenda Caracol is to speak about the tradition of coffee in Brazil. A producer since the beginning of the 20th century in the hands of Mr. Amador Dias, Fazenda Caracol stands out in Minas Gerais for its natural scenery, experience in producing the bean and preservation of great stretches of the Atlantic forest, which guarantees the farm a large quantity of water and diversity of flora and fauna.With the passing of her father, Cristina inherited part of the farm together with her sister, Simone A. Dias Sampaio Silva, and they decided to invest in producing specialty coffees. Cristina turned her attention toward this market niche as her farm has the elevation and mild climate that are conducive to the production of specialty coffee. Every day, she works to meet the needs of increasingly demanding consumers concerned about quality and exotic flavors; she must be part of this market.Coffee processing systemPulped natural dried on a cement patio.Concern about qualitySeeking to maintain the good production practices that guided the history of Fazenda Caracol and the natural resources that populate this land, the ideal bucolic scenario is found, without the use of pesticides, with workers committed to producing the best coffee possible with floral traits coming from the preserved forest and its several crystalline springs
