The idea behind FAF's Bob O Link project?

The Bob O Link is an endangered migratory bird endemic to Brazil. Every year, it migrates between the USA and Brazil, but is now endangered.

FAF and the Croce family are our privileged partners in Brazil. We continue to be impressed by their work to promote more sustainable agriculture in a country where intensive farming and monoculture are the norm.

The Bob O Link is an endangered migratory bird endemic to Brazil. Every year, it migrates between the USA and Brazil, but is now endangered. The idea behind FAF's Bob O Link project? To help it regain all the resources it needs.

Bob O Link aims for all-round coffee quality: environmental, social and in the cup. Among the projects initiated by FAF and extended to the fifty or so partner farms in this project: reforestation, mixed farming, training and an overall change in life.

Bob O Link places coffee growing at the centre of a life project, a new vision that creates value for producers. 

Bob-o-Link Yellow comes from the Yellow Bourbon variety. In the cup, it gives a profile halfway between a natural Brazilian coffee with chocolate notes and a natural Central American coffee with fruitier notes.

The region Sao Paulo

In the Sao Paulo region, the Mococa terroir was the breeding ground for the Bob-o-Link project, since it was here, at the heart of their farm, that Marcos Croce and Silvia Barretto got the ambitious Bob-O-Link project off the ground.
On returning from the United States to take over the reins of the family farm, run initially as an intensive monoculture, the couple made the courageous choice to start from scratch, symbolically renaming the farm "Fazenda Ambiental Fortaleza". With the aim of obtaining much more than just a specialty coffee, Sylvia and Marcos put all their energy into learning about coffee farming and into bringing their neighbours together around their project to obtain a "global quality" for all. They wanted to produce an economically, ecologically and socially sustainable coffee. A very difficult challenge indeed in a great coffee-producing country like Brazil, but one they are currently meeting.
