The Single Farmer Project is the result of an effort to support Ethiopian producers with a marketplace for farm-traceable coffees.
This single producer lot comes from Mr. Tadese Teko in the Shale village near Worka town in Yirgacheffe. Mr Tadese Teko is one of millions of farmers who live in the highlands of Ethiopia and rely on coffee to support their livelihoods. He owns 8 hectares of land which is large by the standards of the area where average land size is 4 hectares. Mr Tadese has 9 children and he manages to send his children to school thanks to the income he receives from coffee sales. Mr Tadese usually produces washed coffees and he is honoured to have his coffee separated out for its exceptional quality.
