Producer Story:
Coming from a family of small coffee growers in the town of Camacho, Amilton Lopes da Silva started working at the age of 15 in a coffee nursery. As a reward to his dedicated work, the owner of the nursery offered him 1,000 coffee seedlings so that he could start his plantation. This first plot marked the beginning of Fazenda Lagoa, where Amilton works now alongside his wife Anderleia and his brother Adilson. The farm is the family's main source of income and Amilton hopes one day his son will be able to continue his work.
