After an extensive search for the perfect location to cultivate coffee, Edson Luiz Ignacio found his ideal spot in the Cerrado Mineiro region, specifically in the municipality of Tapira, nestled within the Serra da
Canastra. This area, renowned for its unique combination of high altitudes—reaching up to 1,500 metres—fertile soils, and a climate marked by hot, humid summers and mild, dry winters, offered the
optimal conditions Edson sought for producing exceptional coffee.

Establishing Canastra Farm on 1,000 hectares of this fertile land, Edson committed to sustainable practices from the outset. Half of the farm's area is dedicated to preserving native vegetation, and efforts are made to protect the numerous springs and rivers traversing the property.

By implementing organic composting and utilizing biological controls, the farm not only maintains
environmental harmony but also enhances the quality of its coffee.
The farm's location at an altitude of 1,250 meters plays a crucial role in its success. This elevation,
coupled with significant temperature variations between day and night, slows the ripening process
of the coffee cherries. This gradual maturation allows for a higher concentration of sugars,
enriching the beans' flavors and aromas.
In terms of production, Canastra Farm yields approximately 40,000 bags of coffee annually. The
farm cultivates a diverse range of varieties, including Arara, Catucaí, Bourbon, Acauã, Paraíso,
Guará, and IPR 107. Embracing both traditional and innovative processing methods, the farm
employs natural, semi-washed, and fermented techniques to highlight the distinct characteristics
of each variety.
Beyond its agricultural endeavors, Canastra Farm is deeply committed to the local community. The
farm offers training programs and workshops aimed at promoting sustainable farming practices
and enhancing the well-being of its workers. Looking ahead, Edson envisions expanding the farm's
infrastructure, inaugurating a quality control laboratory, constructing guest accommodations to
welcome visitors, and planting new coffee areas to further elevate both production and quality.
Through a harmonious blend of tradition, innovation, and sustainability, Canastra Farm has
established itself as a beacon of excellence in the Brazilian coffee industry.
