Farm details
Producer Story:
The hills of Rubavu District in Rwanda’s Western Province
are alive with the sound of work. Before the sun is fully up,
forty-one farmers are already in their fields. Among them is
BIZIMANA Theogene checking over the coffee trees that he and his
fellow farmers have tended all year.
The farmers' journey with growing coffee has been a mix of old and
new ways of doing things. Exploring trainings about Regenerative
Agriculture taught them how to take care of their coffee trees so
that they grow perfectly, with a reduced impact on the environment
and protecting the soil with a good harvest in return.
The farmers pick the coffee cherries with care when they are at
their best ripeness. The farmers already know the importance
post-harvest handling and so they take their coffee cherries to
Rwacof Nyamyumba Coffee Washing Station (CWS), within just eight
hours after picking them. The hard work of the forty-one farmers
this season paid off with an impressive yield of 6,001 kilograms of
coffee cherries that represents the Lot (25 NYB 0804).
At the station, Etienne Ndutiye, the Quality Controller, and
Eliane Uwineza, the CWS Manager, take over making sure the fully
washed process that is preceded by a deep sorting and floating
rans; smoothly, bringing out the clean, bright flavors the region
is known for.
For Bizimana and the others, this is more than coffee. It’s
a proof of what can happen when a community works together and
invests in better ways of farming. The coffee they produce
doesn’t just taste good it tells the story of their land,
love for coffee, and their future.
