As part of a series to highlight the work done this lot is dedicated to GAP training. In the 2022 harvest they trained 582 farmers with 125 being women and 280 youth farmers as well. 

The Coffee Gardens was established in 2017 with the goal of producing great specialty coffee in an ethical way; offering a transparent and direct link between coffee farmers and coffee consumers. They aim to improve farmers’ income and livelihoods, create and provide rural employment, promote gender equality, increase transparency and traceability throughout the supply chain, promote and work on environmental protection in the area and provide farmer training in Good Agricultural Practises (GAP).

The Coffee Gardens also incentivise and reward farmers in a number of different monetary and non-monetary ways. These include post-season bonuses, additional income-generating and employment opportunities, tree distribution and a range of all-year-round training programs. They are transparent with partner farmers about buying policy and prices, providing each registered farmer with a contract and a buying-record book, communicating any price changes via SMS to registered farmers, and providing receipts for every transaction.

The coffee in this micro-lot is produced by the farmers on the mountain above The Coffee Gardens’ washing station. The farmers bring the coffee cherries down to the processing station themselves, earning extra income. At the start of the 2022 season they dismantled their old washing station and rebuilt it on a new site to be able to expand their capacity and produce more coffee.
