Fazenda IP is nestled in the hills outside the city of Carmo de Minas in Brazil, and has been family owned since it was first purchased back in 1967 by Isidro Pereira, who offers his initials as the farm name. His son Luiz Paulo Dias Pereira pursued an education in agriculture and then joined his father in the production and expansion of the farm. With Luiz working at the farm, they began to improve quality year of year. Now a days, the farm has expanded to over 720 hectares, and mainly cultivates the yellow bourbon varietals. The higher altitudes in the region favor a slower ripening cherry and permits selective picking, which are decisive factors to produce coffees of exceptional quality.
