Located in Boulder Barrio is not in the historical documentation, as if lost in the early days of colonial Brazil.
Probably its origin occurred in the division of land grants donated by the holders of hereditary captaincies.
The records on the farm began to appear from the nineteenth century, when it was acquired by Captain Benedict de Almeida
Prado (Baron of Vila) in 1868, by an exchange with the Forest Farm. Soon emerged as the leading producer of sugar in the region for a period of more than ten years.
In ancient times the farm belonged to the priest João Leite Ferraz, who built the Church of Our Lady of Candelaria Itu. In 1910 the farm belonged to Colonel Carlos Augusto de Vasconcelos Tavares, who sold that year, Mr Joaquim da Fonseca Bicudo. Since then it belongs to this family, through succession, and the current owner his grandson Joaquim Nogueira Emidio Bicudo.
The period in which predominated the production of sugar left the building that housed the mill (mill), later used as a deposit at the time of the cotton crop. After receiving own machinery, water wheel and drying yard, the coffee processing was the last principal activity of the farm. The facilities for this purpose was the most modern of the time, working for decades. Was driven wheel d'imported water from England, which still remains in its original location, with the plates of the "mugs" somewhat damaged, but with the structure in good condition.
Currently the activity on the farm is restricted to dairy farming and farming of vegetables, both outsourced.
