Sitio Serra e Leite is located in the coffee growing region of Poços de Caldas, renowned for its high quality, volcanic soil and unique micro-climates. This is a relatively small coffee farm compared to others in the Serra do Selado micro-region and the easy-going Luiz Zanetti focuses on using hands-on, traditional techniques rather than a mechanised approach.

In 2023, we launched our Community Small Grants Programme, providing a more transparent, accessible and equitable approach to our local giving. We allocated £10,000 and opened for applications from any grass-roots community organisation within our local area, adopting a simple application process, offering grants of £100 to £500.

Are you ready for a jampacked April of exciting events at the mill, and that’s not even mentioning our Open Days coming back! A series of collaboration with promoters, music lovers, farmers markets and more – there’s something for everyone – we advise to get booking those tickets as spaces are limited, unfortunately due to popular demand the Coffee and Calligraphy event has already sold out. Hope to see you soon.
