In October 2017 we spent some time with Adolfo Vieira Ferreira, owner of Fazenda Passeio, whose attention to detail and commitment to producing specialty coffee is second to none. In order to guarantee quality, the farm employs a high number of skilled workers to carry out most of the production process by hand – from soil preparation for planting, to hand picking of the ripe cherries. In return, the farm looks after its workers – permanent workers and their families live on site, and are provided with schooling for their children, professional training, and environmental education.
