Flowers In Action, Pamela Borges

Pamela is a members of APAS - The Alto da Serra Producers’ Association. She is also
one of the women behind Flowers in Action, a project to empower female farmers. It is a project created by women, supported by women and focused in women. Flowers in Action encourages female coffee farmers to produce, process and brand their own coffee, showcasing their talent, creativity and journey.  

Mantiqueira has an ideal micro-climate: rainy during summer and dry during
ripeness and harvesting periods. The mountainous area inhibits the use of machines, so coffee is selectively hand-picked.
