Vilas Boas family (Sítio Dois Irmãos)

Description

Sítio Dois Irmãos is a family-run farm in Brazil’s Mantiqueira de Minas region, where coffee production is shaped by generational knowledge and a gradual shift toward quality-focused practices. The farm is operated by the Vilas Boas family, whose work reflects a broader movement within the region toward more intentional and precise coffee production.

For many years, the farm followed a traditional, volume-driven model. A turning point came in 2013 when the family partnered with the COCARIVE cooperative, gaining access to technical support and a network of quality-focused producers. This relationship encouraged changes in both farming and processing, leading to a more selective and controlled approach.

Today, the farm is managed by Antônio Vilas Boas’ sons, Allan and Allex, who represent a new generation building on their family’s foundation. Their work centers on careful farm management, including pruning, soil health, and organic fertilization, alongside improved post-harvest practices.

Sítio Dois Irmãos reflects the steady evolution of Mantiqueira producers—family-led operations refining their methods to produce consistent, high-quality coffees with long-term sustainability in mind.
