Ethiopia is not a country one trades with easily and we have seen many foreigners run away with their tail between their legs. The only way we wanted to do it is through supporting local leadership and direct relationship with an estate who is seen as a benevolent village head in the area.

Gidhe Berhe owns a coffee farm in Limmu that is as close to the original growing habitat of the arabica species as possible - but not in the wild. Galeh Estate is a completely planned, closed loop, regenerative agroforestry system.
