A few words about Wellington & Néia Braga

Wellington Braga is the third generation of producers who live and cultivate land near the village of Afonso Claudio in Espirito Santo. The Braga family is very numerous in the city and its surroundings. His great-grandfather, Italian, came to settle in Brazil, in the state of Minas Gerais originally. More than a hundred years later, Wellington tells us: “This land has been passed down from generation to generation, divided between brothers and sisters and parents. Each generation brings a new direction or vision to the farm. I started to cultivate my own piece of land from scratch, before that it was pasture. When Wellington was 20, he met Néia, the sister of his cousin's wife. Néia is now his wife and they started a family. Once their marriage papers were signed, they decided to dive into coffee production. “We started from nothing and worked hard for 11 years. We built every piece of this farm with our own sweat and with every step a victory. Each goal achieved made us very proud ?admits Néia.
