Caramel, Vanilla, Stone Fruit
Fazenda São Felipe is located closeby the city of Franca, in the Alta Mogiana region. The farm is in the hands of Vanessa’s family for several generations. A while back, Vanessa left the rural area for her studies, seeking a career in the city, however, returned to her family farm 5 years ago to be connected to nature and this reflects in everything she does at the farm.
Vanessa does coffee agriculture with great passion and is a hands-on farmer. She is the 4th generation of coffee producers in her family and with her mother, she is leading all agricultural practices at the farm. She invests heavily in regenerative technologies and tries to find ways to implement good practices for a new sustainable coffee culture. At the farm, they are planting trees every year and slowly bring back the diversity that used to be present on the land before intensively farmed with coffee. They want to recover as much areas as possible and reforest piece by piece – focusing on springs and water bodies. In the fields, all inputs with negative impact are decreased to a minimum and soil and plant health are actively restored. Vanessa is working with sustainable practices – not for marketing reasons – but because she believes that this is the right way to do coffee agriculture and she wants to inspire others.
