Situated in the picturesque town of Afonso Cláudio, in the state of Espírito Santo, Alto Lagoa Farm, spanning 19 hectares, is a testament to the rich tradition of coffee cultivation and an unwavering pursuit of excellence. Owners Eleonor Brandt, Humberto Brandt, and Edgar Brandt, along with the rest of the family, have cultivated a reputation for producing some of the finest coffees in the region.
With an annual production of approximately 100 sacks of specialty coffee, alto Lagoa Farm consistently delivers exceptional quality. The history of the Brandt family’s coffee farm is a tale of tradition.
It all began with the inheritance of their grandparents’ coffee legacy, fostering a love for coffee that sprouted when Edgar was just seven years old. Today, following in the footsteps of their parents and grandparents, they continue to nurture their coffee plants with dedication and passion.
What sets their farm apart from others in the region is its unique location at an altitude ranging from 750 to 850 meters. This elevated terrain promotes a slower maturation process, resulting in superior coffee quality that stands out in the region.
The coffee varieties cultivated on the Alto Lagoa Farm include Catucaí 785, Red and Yellow Catuaí, and more recently, Arara. These varieties were chosen for their adaptability to the local climate and their proven track record over time.
Alto Lagoa Farm is committed to sustainable practices, ensuring that all waste is responsibly disposed of and taking measures to preserve the surrounding natural environment. Their commitment to community well-being extends to active participation in social events and investments in the local region.
