The farm stands out at first sight for its investment in the preservation of the natural environment. Indeed, the Serra do Cabral, a place of untouched nature, where animals live freely, surrounded by streams and crystal clear waterfalls. The Reserva da Borralha, which surrounds the Ecaogrícola area, is a park of 2,000 hectares of land totally untouched by human influence and rich in biodiversity. Birds migrating south from North America stop here to rest and feed. In addition, the presence of Pumas Concolore, a rare feline, is evidence of a preserved food chain. The warm days, cool nights and dry season during the harvest provide perfect conditions for growing and harvesting excellent specialty coffees.

The Sul de Minas region is, as its name suggests, the southern area of the greater Minas Gerais region. Known as one of the largest coffee producing regions in Brazil, the Sul de Minas region is a traditional production area for Arabica coffee (introduced in the 1850s), accounting for about 30% of national production. A hilly region with a mild climate and average altitudes of 850, this region has some of the largest coffee-producing estates in Brazil. The main varieties grown here are yellow Catuaí and Mundo Novo.
