Gabriel’s gift

Every producer thinks their farm is special, but in Gabriel Oliveira’s opinion, owning Bom Jesus is a matter of luck and merit.

Located at Alta Mogiana biome in Brazil, Bom Jesus is a picture perfect postcard of lush terrain, symmetrical rows of coffee trees, and natural vegetation.

As a child, Gabriel recalls playing among the drying coffee on his grandparent’s farm. He grew up with first-hand appreciation that coffee production was arduous, detailed, and extremely passionate work, but it was work that fascinated him.

“Our family always let its successors choose their own path, their own career, but coffee has always brought our family together,” Gabriel says.

Gabriel chose coffee as his profession, and so have his children, making them the family’s seventh generation of coffee producers.
