Farm History
Antonio and Sebastiano Da Silva grew up in a very large family. The two of them count a total of 13 siblings. About 20 years ago, the family began to use 1-hectare of their land start cultivating coffee. An experiment quickly turned into a real passion – a passion that should bear excellent fruit in time!
Today cultivation of coffee is the main income of the family. The region in which the farm is located, has ideal characteristics: a very fertile soil, well-defined seasons and an advantageous altitude - the best conditions to cultivate quality coffee.
Another goal of the family is the preservation of natural resources on the farm. The coffee cherries are picked by hand and then sun-dried on the farm's own terraces. A great effort, which pays for itself. Together, the two brothers have won several awards for their coffees.
