TAFERI KELA
SIDAMA
Taferi Kela is more than just a village; it is a living testament to the resilience and beauty of the Sidamo
region. Named to the pitstop Emporer Haile Selassie (Ras Teferi) once made, the green, high altitude hills of Taferi Kela draw an amazing potential for growing coffee.
As the moon rises, illuminating the path ahead, the people of Taferi Kela rest, knowing that tomorrow they will rise again, their spirits intertwined with the land they call home.

OPPORTUNITIES
Opportunities for our planet
We believe coffee-farming can only continue when the planet benefits from it. We farm towards net-zero in 2030, by todays action on preserving and restoring agroforestry. At our own farm, but also by teaching and facilitating our community farmers in it.
Opportunities for our community
Everyone who lives in a geographical zone should be part of the community and get the opportunity to earn a living income. Farmers, and far beyond. We encourage young adults to start their micro enterprises in order to create more jobs. We invest in our growing inclusive farming and processing team by improving qualities, and offer talented youth a work & learn program at our model farm, model mill and our QC and logistic teams.
