What surrounds the farm, seen from space in a satellite land survey from 2021. Most of it reads as tree cover — that is the landscape this coffee grows in.

The soil beneath

very acidic (pH 5) · very high in organic matter (41.6 g/kg organic carbon in the topsoil) · sandy clay loam — 31% clay, 49% sand, 20% silt

Questions people ask.

What makes Fazenda Camocim distinctive?

It farms coffee inside an agroforestry system without chemical fungicides or fertilisers, certified organic and biodynamic — planting and harvest are timed to natural cycles, and the forest around the trees is part of the farm, not an obstacle to it.

What is jacu bird coffee?

The jacu, a wild forest bird, eats only the ripest cherries; the farm collects the beans it leaves behind and processes them as a separate lot. It is a rare, expensive coffee — the bird does the picking, nobody cages or feeds it.

Who is behind the farm?

Olivar Fontenelle de Araújo acquired the land in the nineteen-sixties; his grandson Henrique Sloper de Araújo replanted it with hundreds of thousands of trees at the turn of the millennium and led it into organic and biodynamic certification. One of its lots took first place at Brazil's Cup of Excellence in the late twenty-tens.

How high does this coffee grow?

Satellite mapping measures roughly 1,050 m at the farm's mapped point, in the mountains above Domingos Martins. 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 1 roasters in 1 countries list coffees from this farm — each card above links to the roaster's own shop.

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.
