History

The history of Barinas Farm begins with the arrival of Mrs. Thereza Tomásia and family in Araxá in 1820, with the letter of Sesmaria da Manioca. In 1950, Alberto Castro Alves (in memorian), began the planting of Coffee, being thus one of the pioneers of the region. With his vision of economist and administrator he created criteria such as diversification, integration, professionalism and strategic partnerships.

The family struggled in 1975 when heavy frost burned the coffee planted, which was not enough for the family to give up its coffee-growing purposes. The passion for coffee made Fazenda Barinas rise and become the model it is today, with the 7th generation at the forefront of business seeing the potential of coffee.
