Fazenda Engenho

fazenda engenho is a specialty arabica farm in cerrado mineiro, brazil, situated at approximately 1,150 metres elevation. the farm takes its name from the portuguese word for mill and has been in coffee production since its purchase by ciro carneiro in 1954. management passed through the family before josé ronaldo took over in 1984, combining a medical career with direct oversight of the land. a focused investment in processing and drying infrastructure beginning around 2017, guided by technical consultancy, underpins the farm's current quality program. quality control at the farm level involves collaboration with deyvid leandro, a licensed q-grader working in cerrado mineiro, and that partnership contributed to a brazil cup of excellence win, which the farm has achieved more than once. the farm produces microlots alongside larger volumes, with orders typically fulfilled in full containers. it sells to international green buyers, with documented placements in canada through orange brown imports. the farm operates under an esg framework and positions itself as a traceable, single-origin producer within one of brazil's most established specialty coffee regions.
