We were born out of passion ... or rather, of various passions.
Passion for cheese.
Passion for people.
Passion for Canastra.
Passion for Brazil.
It was a farm. It was supposed to be just a haven.
But how to be here and not notice these flavors,
in these hugs, in this joy?
How to be here and not notice this nature, this centuries-old knowledge,
this craftsmanship that belongs to us so much?
And the charm grew. And we studied. And we strive.
We seek all our courage to begin this new journey.
And what a journey! Quite a walk.
It reminds us of the climbs, the trails, the adventures in the mountains.
The challenges are daily.
But they are worth every dawn spent, every fall, every tear.
Hey guys!
We're young. But we've gone far. And let's go more.
We crossed the mountain, crossed the sea and went
shine there in Europe.
In the land of the best known cheeses on the planet!
We're young. We are tradition.
We're young. We are cheesemakers.
We're young. We are canastros.
We are Brazil. We are culture. We are flavor.
We are Vale da Gurita Cheese Shop.
The farm
Under the care of the Dumont Adams family, which has been in the coffee business for five generations, Fazenda Morada da Prata is proud to present excellent quality coffees and, at the same time, to rescue and protect the local culture and nature.
​
Located in Batatais, in the Alta Mogiana region, in São Paulo, Brazil, the farm is at an altitude of 850 meters, on a mountainside with a very particular microclimate.
​
144 of the farm's 456 hectares are comprised of a beautifully preserved native forest, where large animals circulate freely and typical Atlantic Forest species are protected from extinction. 146 hectares of coffee and 108 hectares of sugar cane are cultivated in rich, clay-like soil, predominantly red and red-yellow latosol, in addition to pastures and eucalyptus trees.
The local microclimate is very specific, with the presence of low clouds during winter mornings, which makes this mountain edge more humid and cool than the local average. The rain pattern is bountiful, with about 1,500mm/year.
​
A perfect terroir coupled with the passion for coffee and a centenary dedication to the fruit result in exceptional cups and stories full of soul and charm.

Fazenda Morada da Prata is all about excellence, tradition, and affection.
