Vargem Grande, Brazil

Rosimeire Aparecida Guerra and her husband Carlos took on the Sitio Vargem Grande farm when they married in 2009. The farm was chosen because the land is between 1100 and 1400 metres above sea level - a great altitude for coffee in Brazil. They are growing red and yellow Catuai on the 3 hectare farm, that they planted in 2010.

Coffee has been important for the whole family, as it has facilitated a better future for their family. They are proud of this, and of the quality of their coffee. Recently they have invested in a mechanical dryer which has been very helpful for finishing the drying when they need more space for the new coffee coming to be dried or when the weather has not been adequate.
