Fazenda Santa Lúcia was acquired in 1994, and since then, the entire family has worked together with a deep commitment to respecting and protecting the farm's workers. Some of them have become so close, they’re considered part of the family — one of whom, affectionately known as Diquinho, lends his name to the coffee produced here.
The farm spans a total of 123 hectares and is located in the Serra das Abelhas region, which translates to "Bee Mountains." This area is renowned for producing naturally sweet coffees that often evoke notes of honey.
