About The Croce family of Brazil
In the year 2000, Silvia Barretto inherited Fazenda Fortaleza from her father. She and her husband, Marcos Croce, promptly renamed it, Fazenda Ambiental Fortaleza- (Environmental Fortress Farm). This reflects the passion they have regarding the environment and sustainable agriculture practices. They immediately began implementing sustainable methods on their farm, but before long, they realized that just doing it themselves was not enough. Producing environmentally responsible, high-quality coffee calls for collaboration with neighboring family farmers likewise committed to sustainability.
So the Croce family and their neighbors created the Bob-O-Link network, dedicated to building a permaculture: preserving water quality and organic soil on their farms, planting shade trees, and promoting the habitat of birds and wildlife that live in or migrate to their area. Together they are impacting not only the Brazilian coffee industry but the specialty coffee industry worldwide.

Noble Coffee Roasting
Eight-time Good Food Award winner (and ten-time finalist) Noble Coffee Roasting began, as many successful roasting companies do, in the garage of husband-wife team Jared and Carolyn Rennie, way back in 2007. Named after Jared's grandfather, Noble Duke, within two years Noble Coffee had moved to its current roastery/café location just off 4th street in the quirky, charming town of Ashland Oregon.
"We believe that amazing coffee starts by sourcing the highest quality green coffees from organic farms and cooperatives, continues in the crafting of coffees with great attention upon roasting, and ends in the fine details of brewing. We are fully devoted to this process."
