Sítio Três Barras is located in Divinolândia, a city in the state of São Paulo, near the Divinolândia–Poços de Caldas road, in the Três Barras neighborhood. The property has been in the family of Mr. Manassés for at least 70 years. His grandfather, José Caetano Dias, originally acquired a small plot of land in the region, focusing primarily on cultivating potatoes and peppers. Over time, through hard work, Mr. José and his wife, Lourdes Correia Dias (Mr. Manassés’ grandmother), acquired additional plots, forming a total of 16 bushels. Here, their family of five children built a life centered on agriculture. The neighborhood, named Três Barras, is said to have originated from an old farm that was subdivided into smaller plots, giving rise to the local community.
Although the farm’s primary activity was potato cultivation, Mr. José had a special interest in coffee planting. In the 1950s, he planted around three thousand coffee trees. However, despite their dedication, the small plantation had poor productivity. It was eventually eradicated and replaced with potatoes once more. Due to phytosanitary issues in the 1980s, potato cultivation also had to be abandoned, and onions became the primary crop.
During this time, a young Mr. Manassés began participating in agricultural activities and developed a passion for them. At that point, only his father, Artesio Sampaio Dias, and one of his uncles worked alongside his grandfather on the farm, as the other siblings had moved to the city to pursue different careers.
In 2000, after the passing of Mr. José, the property entered probate. In 2001, at the initiative of Mr. Manassés’ father, the family decided to invest in coffee cultivation once again. On 2.8 hectares of inherited land, they planted 5,000 yellow Icatu coffee trees and 500 Tupy trees. In the initial years, the coffee plantation showed excellent productivity, encouraging the family to continue investing in this crop.
