Farm History
Hélcio practically grew up in the coffee industry. At the age of 15, he was already helping his mother with the production and processing of the harvests. A few years later, he and his wife Glycia took over the management of the Santa Lúcia farm.
To promote quality coffee in the Carmo de Minas region, Hélcio, along with a group of pioneers, founded the association "Aprocam" in the 1990s. This collaboration enabled Santa Lúcia to become the first farm in the area to receive the necessary facilities for processing pulped naturals.
Even today, Hélcio strives to continually expand his knowledge and expertise. He regularly travels to other coffee-growing countries and is in constant contact with scientists to further improve his production.
