Brazil Fazenda Progresso Espresso

Fazenda Progresso is owned by the Borré family who’ve been in business for more than three generations. The history of the farm dates back to 1984 when the family migrated from Southern Brazil to the northeast, purchasing some land in the municipality of Ibicoara near the town of Mucugê. In those early years, the family grew crops such as soybeans, wheat and English potatoes. In 2005, the Borré family sought to diversify the activities on their land and began to focus on coffee. With high altitudes, plentiful rainfall, and rich soil, they recognised they had the ideal conditions to produce specialty coffee - which they did.

The family’s youngest son, Fabiano Borré, spearheaded the coffee program, investing in state-of-the-art infrastructure and agricultural practices to ensure they could produce the highest possible quality coffee.
