SÍTIO MÃE DA PROVIDÊNCIA
EDENILSON APARECIDO DE CARVALHO

Edenilson’s story with coffee began early in life,
watching his father through the coffee fields and learning each
stage of production. His fascination with the process grew into a
purpose: becoming a producer himself. At 19, he started working to
save up money, and a few years later, he achieved his dream of
buying land, building a home, and starting his own coffee
production.
His wife, Ciomara, later joined him in this journey. She studied
Coffee Farming and became the main responsible for the post-harvest
at Mãe da Providência. The couple manages every detail
of production with precision: separating lots by harvest time,
plot, and ripeness level. Drying is carefully done on patios or
suspended beds, depending on the cherries’ sweetness and
volume, ensuring uniformity and ideal moisture.
Coffee is the family’s only activity, carried out with
discipline and care. Through training and technical support from
SMC and Cooxupé, they continuously refine their methods,
applying better soil management, selective picking, and controlled
drying to elevate cup quality. Their dedication soon turned into
recognition: in 2019, Edenilson won first place in a specialty
coffee contest, calling it a blessing and a dream fulfilled.
In the following years, their coffees remained among the top lots
of the Especialíssimo program, and in 2023, Mãe da
Providência repeated its triumph with a Natural
Catucaí.
