Farm Taferi Kela
Our farm is located in Taferi Kela, a remote and isolated woreda in the South of Sidama, on the opposite side of the region to another much more well known woreda; Bensa. Although it is less well known Taferi Kela has all of the same conditions necessary to produce exceptional coffee; high altitude, ideal climate, rich fertile soil, healthy plant life, and most importantly strong community.

The farm there was and still is our framework for a holistic approach to growing something strong and lasting.

A step towards not only adding value for people but affording them opportunities to add value for themselves. Read more..
