Bom Jardim Farm reflects the passion and perseverance of its owner, Leandro Henrique Gomes, who carries on a family legacy rooted in coffee cultivation. Leandro’s journey began in 2011 when he took over the management of coffee production previously started by his father, Ernandes Delfino Gomes, on a family farm in the Esmeril region.
In 2017, Leandro partnered with his friend Ronianderson Tadeu de Souza to establish Bom Jardim Farm in the Patrocínio municipality of Minas Gerais. Starting with annual crops like soybeans, sorghum, and corn, they transitioned to coffee cultivation, planting their first 19 hectares in 2017, followed by expansions in 2018 and 2020.
The farm spans 120 hectares, with 73 hectares dedicated to coffee cultivation. Agronomic practices such as soil fertility corrections and fertilization based on detailed analyses ensure sustainable production while maintaining a balance between the soil, plants, and the environment.
Leandro’s unwavering dedication, supported by his family, has allowed Bom Jardim Farm to thrive despite early challenges, including securing financial resources and infrastructure. Today, the farm represents resilience and a commitment to producing high-quality coffee while embracing sustainability.

The Cerrado Mineiro region, located in northwest Minas Gerais, is recognized globally for its high-quality coffee production. It became the first Protected Geographical Indication in Brazil in 2005, later achieving full Designation of Origin in 2013. The region’s distinct seasons—a hot, wet summer and a dry winter—offer ideal conditions for coffee cultivation and drying.
Cerrado coffee farms are characterized by their entrepreneurial spirit, with many producers being second- or third-generation farmers. These farmers invest in advanced agronomic techniques and sustainable practices, contributing to consistent quality and innovative approaches to coffee production. Elevations ranging from 800 to 1,300 masl and healthy soils, cultivated with calcium to counteract natural acidity, enhance Cerrado’s reputation as a hub for exceptional coffee.
Coffees from this region are celebrated for their rich chocolate notes, big body, and velvety texture, making them a favorite among espresso enthusiasts. With an average production of 35 bags per hectare, the 4,500 farmers in the region produce around 6 million bags of coffee annually.
