In the daily work, Ronaldo and Otávio carry out the maintenance throughout the year and also the crop during harvest time. Only the two of them. They harvest an average of 120/130 bags a year. In addition to working in roça, Ronaldo, 42 years old, is also a bricklayer. He made his own house. He built everything around there.

But to produce quality coffee, it’s necessary to “ficar um par de dia” — to stay a couple of days, that is, to dedicate fully. So, little by little Ronaldo is trying to disconnect from the constructions and dedicate himself to coffee.
