Bota Fora has been in the same family for over 100 years. Since Francisco Teóphilo Reis Neto bought the land and the farm in 1900, ownership has passed to four generations of the family. The current owner and manager, Maria de Fátima Silva Marques da Fonseca, is the last in the family to look after the land. Bota Fora has five permanent employees who have worked on the site for the past twenty years. After picking, the cherries pass through color sorting machines to separate the ripe cherries from the stunted ones. The cherries are sorted by quality and loaded into the depulping machine. Once removed from their pulp, the coffee beans are placed to dry on a cement drying patio. Here they are dried to an ideal moisture content of 12%. In this way, the highest quality of this coffee is guaranteed.
