THE FAZENDA DAS PALMAS
Sits in the heart of the Coffee Valley in the state of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. In 2013 the Konder-Braga family restored this old distillery which was originally established in 1855 being the third commercial distillery in the region and the first known to be completely slave-free. Today we are a small, family-run farm with horses, sheep, chickens, cows, ducks, dogs and cats plus a whole plethora of wild animals that come and go freely within our forest. We have our own organic vegetable garden, boutique coffee production and a plant nursery where we cultivate and share the diversity that emanates from our piece of land.
