ABOUT

Fazenda Cachoeira: A Family’s Commitment to Coffee

This lot comes from Fazenda Cachoeira do Campo, a family-run farm led by Elisabete Martins and her family. In 2000, they made a bold move, leaving behind a successful supermarket business they had built over 23 years to begin a new life in coffee farming.

What started as a way to diversify their income quickly became a shared passion. Elisabete’s husband, who had worked as a charcoal maker on a nearby farm in his youth, already knew Fazenda Cachoeira and saw its potential. When the opportunity came to buy the land, they embraced it with excitement and purpose.

From day one, it was a full family effort. Elisabete, her husband, their children, and their daughters-in-law all got involved, learning as they went and working side by side to get the farm off the ground. Over time, they expanded, acquiring a second farm and committing fully to the world of specialty coffee.

Driven by curiosity and pride, they continue to learn, adapt, and improve each season. This lot, a natural-processed Catuaí 99, reflects their dedication to quality and their deep connection to the land. It is carefully grown, harvested, and processed with the same care that has defined their journey from the very beginning.

ETHICAL COFFEE SOURCING

Just like our approach to roasting and training, we source coffee in such a way that prioritises empowering people who are disadvantaged or disenfranchised.

Every sourcing decision is made intentionally in order to maximise the impact for the producers.
We focus these decisions around 3 main principles:

REHABILITATION

In line with our mission in the UK, we support the rehabilitation of coffee producers previously involved in conflict, crime or the drug trade. We’ve been working with a project in Colombia which supports farmers who were previously members of paramilitary groups, and want to move away from growing illegal plants for the drugs industry and instead produce coffee. This allows them to have a steady, sustainable income which provides for their family and creates stability within their community.

Sustainable Initiatives

Economic and environmental sustainability are important issues at every stage of the coffee supply chain.

We work with Caravela, who on top of paying farmers up front, have an on-the-ground team to work with farmers improving their farm yield and reduce carbon emissions.

We also work closely with Raw Material CIC, who reinvest all profits at origin.

Female Economic Empowerment

We support the promotion of female coffee producers to improve gender equality in the industry. In an industry where women do most of the labour but rarely hold positions of power, we want to help reset the balance. We’ve built a relationship with Patricia Coelho, a female producer in The Pinhal Region in Brazil, to create our house espresso blend, The Block. We now do a lot of business with Patrica, giving her the capital to invest in producing better and better coffee and thereby access the speciality market. 2023 marks our third year working with Patricia.
