Patrícia is a lawyer and business administrator. She worked for a few years in the financial market until the birth of my first daughter. Her husband is a business administrator and has worked for an investment bank for many years. They have always wanted to acquire a rural property, in order to have a second type of activity. The opportunity arose in 2016 when they started to work on the farm.

"It was difficult to understand the dynamics of the coffee cycle. It seems to be very simple, but I can say with conviction that it is not. It has been four years of hard work: changing employees, getting the trust of the partners. In the small town, you are always seen as an outsider, even more so when you are from São Paulo. But there were so many challenges, that each one we won was an overcoming and the certainty of being able to do better. Hard work, respect for our employees, for our partners in the city, and especially for nature. Sure that the love and respect for the coffee plantation and the surrounding nature would give us great joy. Proof of this is now being able to be here telling our story. The coffee flower is simply beautiful, charming. We will be very happy to share our story personally with those who want to visit us" - Patrícia Guerra Mendonça
