ABOUT

In the early 1970’s Antonio & Maria Pereira purchased 90 acres of fertile land in Carmo de Minas. They had a passion for nature and a dream to grow and harvest the best coffee possible. They planted the first seedlings, and while those trees grew, two children were born - Maria Valeria & Maria Rogeria.

From an early age the two daughters were helping on the farm, learning to harvest and refining their processing techniques. Sadly, Antonio passed away but this didn’t change the sisters’ drive to succeed. Later on, the farm name was changed from Serrado to Irmas Pereira (Pereira sisters).
