Seara

Seara is a municipality in western Santa Catarina located at 549 meters elevation, bordered by Arvoredo and Xavantina among other settlements. The town sits within a landscape shaped by farming and rural communities.

The region was founded as Nova Milano in 1924 when farmers from Rio Grande do Sul settled the area with basic tools and seeds. These early settlers established the farming tradition that continues to shape the place today.

The Fritz Plaumann Entomological Museum in the Nova Teutonia district holds one of Latin America's largest insect collections, with specimens gathered from across Brazil and beyond.

The municipality connects to major Brazilian cities through a network of regional roads, making it accessible by car. The driest months offer the most comfortable conditions for exploring the area and its surrounding countryside.

A major food processing company operating under the Seara Alimentos brand is based here and serves as a major regional employer. This enterprise transformed traditional small-scale farming into modern agricultural production.
