Fazenda São Francisco's history begins at the Po Valley, region of the Emiglia Romagna - Italy, where the parents of the current owner, Mrs. Inês Zoli Tassinari, were born. The region is famous for its agriculture and its entrepreneurial people.
In the beginning of the 80s, in São José do Vale do Rio Preto [São José of the Rio Preto Valley] - region in the Rio de Janeiro mountain range, the deceased Mr. Paolo Tassinari obtained positive information on how to develop coffee in the region, and in 1983, Fazenda São Francisco built its first nursery for coffee plants.
The pleasant memories of good coffees from distant Italy always made the family work with a positive view and to break the paradigm that no quality coffees could be produced in the State of Rio de Janeiro. In 1986, Fazenda São Francisco was the first farm to work toward coffee quality in the State of Rio de Janeiro, with a leading edge processing unit, which possessed a pulper to produce outstanding quality coffees.
Since then, Fazenda São Francisco has as its mission to promote what is the very best in specialty coffees, in the State of Rio de Janeiro, without neglecting that it is the result of teamwork, the work of a team that loves the coffee and the land.
