Fazenda Dutra is a family run and owned coffee farm in São João do Manhuaçu, 300

kilometers inland from the east cost of Brazil. In the 1950s, Jose Dutra Sobrinho

inherited a 1-hectare coffee farm that he worked and developed for more than 40

years. He embraced the 1986 price crisis as a moment to “work even harder” and

intensify his passion for coffee, and he continued to purchase land and expand

the farm.In September 1999, Jose passed away and left the farm to his sons Walter

Cesar Dutra and Ednilson Alves Dutra, who take very seriously their responsibility to

their family and their father’s legacy. They have invested in their coffee education,

including attending Illy’s Coffee University, and equipped with new knowledge they

have participated in competitions, won more than 80 prizes and continue to improve

the quality of their coffee.

Fazenda Dutra ́s coffee trees are interwoven with avocado

trees, and the remaining acreage is both preserved native forest and cultivated

eucalyptus, which is used during the harvest period and in drying machines. The

farm has 50 full-time employees, employs an additional 250 workers in the off

season and provides 600 jobs during the harvest period. The full-time team includes

Leonardo Rodrigues, a Q Grader in charge of the farm’s Quality program.
