Fazenda Pinheiros

What Fazenda Pinheiros does

Grupo Sete Cachoeiras Estate Coffee, trading under the Fazenda Pinheiros label among others, is a privately held Brazilian specialty coffee producer operating four wholly-owned estates in Minas Gerais — Fazenda Pinheiros (Campos Gerais, headquarters), Fazenda Sete Cachoeiras, Fazenda Charneca, and Fazenda Mirante (Três Pontas). The group produces premium estate coffee under the Sete Cachoeiras Estate Coffee brand and licensed Rainforest Alliance Certified and UTZ Certified product lines, both certifications held continuously since 2004. Production is built on a fertirrigation system, rigorous end-to-end traceability, and standardized quality control across all four farms, supported by an ISO 9001-aligned quality management framework obtained via SENAR.

Revenue is generated almost exclusively through direct B2B export of green specialty coffee to international roasters and trading houses, with pricing negotiated per contract/batch based on quality grade, volume, and prevailing market conditions — no publicly disclosed pricing or revenue model exists. The group also operates an Armazém warehouse storage facility supporting post-harvest processing, quality control, and export logistics. Marketing is primarily top-of-funnel and earned-media-driven (a Globo Rural magazine feature, official YouTube channel Grupo7Cachoeiras, Picasa photo galleries, and newsletters), targeting sustainability-focused international buyers rather than end consumers. Leadership consists of a single named executive, Sr. Renato Farhat Brito (Diretor Executivo), and the company reports no institutional investors, parent entities, or external funding rounds.
