History

Pedro Santana initially acquired the property from a friend in 1989. He named the farm 'Cafundó,' which translates to 'very, very far away' in Portuguese, reflecting both the physical location and his desire to distance himself from the hustle of his former life. The farm has maintained a professional relationship with Melbourne Coffee Merchants since 2015.
