The origins of Kalervo

The history of Fazenda do Cruzeiro dates back to 1923, when Avelino Ferreira de Aguiar and Maria Julia de Paiva Aguiar were married. Both came from traditional families in the municipality of Santo Antônio do Amparo. As a farmer and coffee grower, Avelino distinguished himself by striving for continuous development in his business. He was one of the first in the entire region to have electricity, a telephone line and running water in his household. Avelino was also a pioneer who installed a coffee processing machine, which was very advanced for the time.

The current owner, Ivan Junqueira Ribeiro, bought the shares belonging to his mother, uncles and aunts, and reunited the estate in 2006. Ivan and his brother spent their weekends and holidays at Fazenda do Cruzeiro with their grandparents from a young age. Because of this, Ivan wanted to continue operations on the farm to keep his family's memories alive, to invest in an alternative business and to give his daughters the same good experiences he had on the farm as a child.
