About your grower
Mitsuo e Fumie Nakao vieram para o Cerrado Mineiro a mais de 30 anos, com o sonho de desenvolver a agricultura na região. Nessa época, o cultivo do café ainda não era muito difundido na região, Fazendo deles pioneiros na produção de cafés. Como todo pioneiro precisaram de muita garra e dedicação.
