The group started in 2013, but the real change began in 2015 after the first win at the Paraná Quality Competition, coffee produced by Eloir Nogueira de Souza. After the Contest, the group got even more together, so they started producing quality coffees. The following year, with another prize from the producer Laura de Freitas, some members of the group decided to make the selective harvest of natural coffee, an idea that worked well and had a lot of visibility and became a reference for work, unity and dedication.
