Fazenda São José was founded in 1958 by Orostrato Olavo Silva Barbosa and is family-owned ever since. The Barbosa family is strongly committed to sustainability and high-quality standards. The coffee farm is located in the Guaxupé region, one of the most important regions for coffee production, also known as “Montanhas cafeeiras” (coffee mountains). The region offers perfect growing conditions thanks to the slightly tropical climate and the hilly landscape.
