fazenda irmas pereira

In the early 70’s, Antônio Andrade Pereira Filho and Maria da Conceição Costa Pereira decided to invest in coffee growing in Carmo de Minas, Brasil. They bought 90 acres of land and started to plant the first seedlings. While those trees grew, the couple’s two daughters were born: Maria Valéria and Maria Rogéria. The sisters started helping their father  run the farm at a very early age. When they got married, their husbands joined their common mission and the farm grew. When the father died, the sisters decided not to split, but to make their union even stronger. They changed the name of the farm from Serrado to Irmãs Pereira (Pereira Sisters, in English) to honor the spirit of sisterhood.
