Osmar Pereira Nunes, the patriarch of the Nunes family, began the family tradition of farming with cattle raising. In 1984, Osmar’s son, Osmar Junior, planted 10 hectares of coffee on their Cerrado Mineiro farm. The next year, he planted another 7 hectares and continued expanding his coffee farm year after year for over 30 years. He says “There isn't greater fulfillment for the producer than arrive at the farm and smell the flowering coffee.” Today, the third generation of Nunes men operates the farm. Gabriel, the son of Osmar Junior, is an agronomist who applies his knowledge of coffee farming to the family business.
