The farm & philosophy
After years working in environmental restoration, Tesfaye Bekele established Suke Quto and the Suke Quto Washing Station, now supporting over a hundred local outgrowers. The farm sits at 1,800–2,000 MASL on rich volcanic soils, uses organic composting, manages mill water in dedicated lagoons, and invests back into the community (including local school initiatives). It’s coffee grown with care—and it shows in the cup.
