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. He owns 8 hectares of land which is large by the standards, where average land size is 4 hectares. Mr Tadese has 9 children, he manages to send his children to school thanks to the income he receives from coffee sales. Farmers in the area usually create natural fertilizer utilizing waste. No chemical fertilizer is applied for coffee grown in such areas. Besides supplying their coffee most small-holder farmers in the area also work in the washing stations as laborers to get extra income during the picking season. Mr Tadese usually produces washed coffees and usually supplied to nearby washing stations. He is honored to have his coffee separated out for its exceptional quality.
