Our Farmers
Our Farmers
We work directly and exclusively with small scale, quality-focused coffee farmers in Kenya. These small scale farmers are the cornerstones of their communities and we work hard to make sure that:
1) they are fully supported in their effort to produce the highest quality products
2) they get a fair price for their hard work, and
3) their communities continue to benefit as a result.
