Aliança is a historical coffee farm that has left its mark on the history of Brazilian Mogiana region. Founded in 1850, it is one of the oldest farms in the area. Fun fact: its main house, dating from 1882, is a true gem of colonial architecture.

Harvesting is carried out both manually and mechanically, depending on the terrain of the plots. Steep areas are hand-picked, while flat surfaces allow for mechanical harvesting. The Mogiana region is renowned for its varied topography. Located on the southern border of the state of Minas Gerais, it is a unique terroir, benefiting from a moderate tropical climate with significant temperature variations between day and night—ideal conditions for producing smooth, high-quality coffee.

Renato Ishikawa acquired the farm in 1997 and installed a post-harvest and sorting facility for export directly on site. The entire process is carried out and monitored on site. The integrated processing unit includes a wet-processing line and patio drying areas.

Today, the farm grows red and yellow Catuai varieties across 220 hectares. In 2014, in addition to the legal registration of the environmental legal reserve ensuring the preservation of 240 hectares of native forest to protect regional biodiversity, the farm created an additional 100 hectares of permanent preservation areas aimed at protecting springs, waterways, ponds, and reservoirs. Furthermore, 7 hectares of native vegetation distributed throughout the farm help create ecological corridors between the different zones. This allows insects and small mammals to travel across the farm and protects biodiversity.

This represents a total of nearly 375 hectares of conserved areas within the property. The farm also practices cattle breeding. Farm management is sustainable, with rational and monitored use of resources and numerous initiatives to preserve local flora and fauna. For example, wastewater from coffee processing is treated and recycled to irrigate the property. Finally, the farm has a medical center and a training center, contributing to the well-being of employees and the local community.
