About Fazenda Bota Fora

Four generations of coffee expertise
Agricultural and coffee-processing knowledge stretches back four generations at Fazenda Bota Fora in the Mantiqueira de Minas region. From the owner to the permanent employees, everyone shares decades of history and experience on this land. This expertise translates directly into the high quality of the coffee.

Family-owned since 1900
Since Francisco Teóphilo Reis Neto bought the land and the fazenda in 1900, ownership has passed down through four generations. The current owner, Maria de Fátima Silva Marques da Fonseca, is the latest steward of this legacy.

Focus on quality over volume
A growing number of Brazilian farms are focusing on quality over volume. The optimal altitude and volcanic soil in Mantiqueira de Minas provide ideal conditions for growing balanced, full-bodied coffees. With support from COCARIVE and Emater MG, Fazenda Bota Fora combines traditional expertise with modern processing techniques.

Certification and quality control
COCARIVE's own laboratory conducts strict quality checks. Certifications such as the Geographical Indication (PGI) and the Brazilian Specialty Coffee Association (BSCA) ensure legality and sustainable practices on the farm.
