What surrounds the farm, seen from space in a satellite land survey from 2021. Most of it reads as cropland — that is the landscape this coffee grows in.
The soil beneath
acidic (pH 5.3) · very high in organic matter (25.6 g/kg organic carbon in the topsoil) · clay — 45% clay, 35% sand, 20% silt

Questions people ask.
What makes Ambiental Fortaleza distinctive?
Known to many roasters simply as FAF, the Barretto-Croce family's farm walked away from agrochemicals in the early two-thousands and rebuilt around soil, water and forest — a sizeable share of the land is kept as protected Atlantic Forest and Cerrado reserve, and coffee grows alongside honey, bananas and vegetables.
What does Bob-o-Link on a coffee bag mean?
It is the name FAF gives to the coffees it grows and sources with neighbouring family farms in the Mogiana — several European roasters print it on their bags. A Bob-o-Link lot traces back to this farm's project, not always to this exact hillside.
How high does this coffee grow?
Satellite mapping measures roughly 800 m at the farm's mapped point, in the rolling highlands north of São Paulo. Coffee plots often sit higher up a property than its gate, so treat the roaster's own listing as the guide for any specific lot.
Where can I buy its coffees in Europe?
Right now 5 roasters in 5 countries list coffees from this farm — each card above links to the roaster's own shop.
Does this mean the coffee was grown here?
Each roaster names the farm on its own listing, and that is exactly what we show — the roaster's claim about where the coffee comes from, attributed to them.
Where does Daily Roast get this information?
From the roasters' own listings, the farm's public materials, and Europe's Copernicus Earth-observation programme. We only publish what we can check — and we say so when something is an estimate.
