The farm "Vista Alegre" is located in Patrocinio in the province of Minas Gerais in Brazil. The Japanese Michio Shimada came to Brazil with his parents as a child. There, like most Japanese immigrant families, they started farming at an early age.In the mid-1950s, Michio moved to the interior of the state of Paraná, where he bought a farm and cultivated coffee. But the perpetual frost and storms that punished the plantations of northern Paraná made them look for a new place. So in 1984 he bought a farm in the municipality of Patrocinio. A region practically without weather problems. After Michio Shimada's death, his children began to manage the farms. The plantation 'Vista Alegre' is one of them. Today, it is managed by the daughter Harumi. The farm uses a traditional farming method without irrigation, with a great understanding of environmental protection. The processing is done naturally, with the necessary care.
