Farm Overview:
The Coffee Gardens was established in 2017 with the goal of producing incredible specialty coffee in an ethical way, offering a transparent and direct link between coffee farmers and coffee consumers. At the start of the 2022 season they dismantled their old washing station and rebuilt it a new site expand their capacity and produce more coffee.
The Coffee Gardens Project has been established with many purposes, such as to improve farmers income and livelihoods, create and provide rural employment, promote gender equality, increase transparency and traceability throughout the supply chain, promote and work on environmental protection in the area and provide farmer training in Good Agricultural Practises.
The coffee in this micro-lot is produced by the farmers on the mountain above the Coffee Gardens’ washing station. The farmers bring the coffee cherries down to the processing station themselves, earning extra income.
This lot is made up of 227 farmers with 18% of them Women farmers.
