Fazenda Moinho, an inheritance received by Vinícius José Carneiro Pereira from his parents, is located in the Municipality of Olímpio Noronha, in southern Minas Gerais. The coffee plantations have been cultivated for many years by the owner, in lands where the average altitude is 1,100 meters.

Coffee processing system

The ripe coffee fruit is picked manually on cloth and immediately taken to the coffee washer and then pulped. Subsequently, the beans are spread on a terrace where they remain for approximately 15 days to dry. The coffee is cleaned and transported to the cooperative.

Concern with quality

Mr. Vinicius José Carneiro Pereira is a member of COOCARIVE – Cooperativa Regional dos Cafeicultores do Vale do Rio Verde [Vale do Rio Verde Coffee Producers Regional Cooperative], and through one of COCARIVE’s agronomists, his plantations are monitored and supervised, in order to produce quality coffees.
