Fazenda Pinhal – Brazil

Fazenda Pinhal is a 914-hectare farm situated close to San Antonio De Ampoaro in Sul De Minas. The farm belongs to the Gabarra Teixeria Family who acquired the farm in 1994. The farm is only planted with 296 ha coffee (33% of the farm) with the rest of the land been left with natural reserve, Eucalyptus Forest and pasture land for cows.

In 2019 the farm won the award for Brazil’s most sustainable coffee farm and in 2019 they installed solar panels which now supplies 100% of their energy usage.

On the farm, they have also started a bird sanctuary to help rehabilitate and care for injured birds and have coordinated research programs with the local universities and student thesis.

The welfare of their employees is very important to them with providing dental care plans in 2018 and now researching with a local university on ways to make the working environment more sustainable for their employees and preventing occupational injuries.

El Planadas – Colombia 

Planadas, Tolima is one of the most isolated coffee producing regions of Colombia located in the Central Colombia Andes mountains. With limited access, other than through the town of Coyaima, mainly dirt road with conditions permitting. This causes a 12 hour trip to Ibague the province capital.

The Planadas area represents 48 coffee producing hamlets representing 6821 small farms ranging from .5 to 6 hectares. These are Renown for producing some of Colombia’s finest Specialty Micro-lot coffees, and are now gaining a reputation for their higher quality commercial community coffees.

The name Body & Soul comes from a song written by written in 1930 with music by Johnny Green and lyrics by Edward Heyman, Robert Sour and Frank Eyton and performed by many artists including Louis Armstrong (who first recorded it), Billie Holiday and more recently Tony Bennett and Amy Winehouse.
