Fazenda Santa Lúcia
Profile image · identity and location not independently authenticated
This is a research profile, not an independently conducted farm visit. Producer and coffee relationships are shown only when the records agree. Check the research sources below for supporting evidence.
The story
Hélcio began producing coffee at 15 on his mother's farm and took responsibility for Santa Lúcia in 1976 after marrying Glycia Pereira Carneiro, daughter of then-owners José Isidro Pereira and Nazareth Dias Pereira.
Challenges
The farm balances coffee production with other agricultural uses across a large estate; the cited sources do not publish lot-specific agronomic challenges.
Innovations
Santa Lúcia uses safra zero, an alternate-side pruning system: half the coffee area rests after pruning while the productive half yields approximately 80–90 bags per hectare. The farm also reuses dry-milling parchment as organic fertilizer where possible.
Farm profile visuals
Profile visuals may include editorial illustrations, not documentary photographs of this farm.
Published coffees linked to this farm
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.
Research sources & verification
These source links were recorded for this farm profile. They document its research trail; a linked source is not, by itself, confirmation of every farm, producer, coffee lot or photo identity.
