The story

Inácio Urban moved from Rio Grande do Sul to Minas Gerais in the 1980s, beginning with 20 hectares of coffee. His children joined the operation in 2006. The Urban family now manages the estate with Los Volcanes Coffee supporting agronomic and processing development.

Challenges

Partners publishes the farm's scale and staffing figures but does not identify a specific current operational challenge.

Innovations

For blends, a farm may be named for one documented component without growing the entire coffee. These catalog relationships do not independently verify every lot, harvest or producer. See individual coffee profiles for traceability evidence.
