Description
Joaquim Almeida Ribeiro, from a family of eight children, grew up working in coffee harvesting alongside his parents and siblings. After a period in São Paulo for his brother’s medical treatment, the family returned to the countryside, where his parents bought a small farm in 1990. Joaquim continued in coffee production and later married Márcia, who also came from a coffee-growing family. Together, they acquired their own farm, called Santa Cruz, and now operate a family-based agricultural system focused on sustainability, forest conservation, and continuous improvement in coffee cultivation and post-harvest management. This lot underwent a natural drying process on the patios at Fazenda Santa Cruz, ensuring uniformity of the coffee. The slow drying allowed for the preservation and intensification of the coffee's aromas and flavors.
