History of the farm
Fazenda Sao Lourenc'o was acquired by Flavio Pentagna Guimaraes in the 1970s. He believed in the potential of the at lands in the Cerrado Mineiro region to produce coffee. Concern for technological innovations has always accompanied management of the farm and it was one of the first to use mechanical harvesters and drip irrigation. In 2007, management’s focus turned to the production of high-quality coffees and Joao Guimaraes, Flavio’s son, began following activities on the farm with a vision even more focused on producing differentiated coffees. There is a constant search in research and studies for balanced production in the field, reducing the use of nitrogen fertilizers and using green fertilizers instead, as well as caring for and respecting workers and neighbors.
