They are among Fairtrade pioneers in Brazil and manage their farms in the region around São Gonçalo do Sapucaí. Time and again, they also achieve success as individual producers in prestigious competitions such as the Cup of Excellence. The coffee cherries for the APAS blend are selectively harvested by members on their own farms, dried in the cherry, and then mechanically depulped.
