ABOUT THE PRODUCER

Mr. Mengeche Derso owns and operates 15 hectares of land in the highlands of Gedeo Zone, where this coffee is produced. Located in the Southern Region of Ethiopia, the region, is renowned for its production of high-quality Yirgacheffe coffee.

At 62 years old, Mr. Mengeche brings years of farming experience to the area, and is recognised for producing premium coffee.

He has 12 children. Along with four of his children, he actively works on the coffee farm. They use natural fertilisers such as animal manure and plant remnants to enrich the soil.

The Single Farmer Project is the result of an effort to support Ethiopian producers with a marketplace for farm-traceable coffees. Back in 2012, during a turbulent time in Ethiopia's coffee exporting history, the cooperative was established to export some of the first ever truly “Farm Traceable” lots from Ethiopia. This was the first time a roaster could highlight the individual farmer for their Ethiopian Coffee. It was the start of an incredible project and truly began the movement for traceability in Ethiopia as we see more often today.
