Karurumo Factory,
Kenya
The Karurumo Factory in Murang'a County works with over 500 smallholder farmers, cultivating SL28, SL34, and Ruiru 11 varieties at 1,600–1,800 meters above sea level in rich red volcanic soil. Many of the farmers harvest just a few hundred coffee trees alongside food crops on small family farms. Fully ripe cherries are handpicked and delivered daily to the factory for processing which are then carefully sorted, washed and then sun-dried on raised beds.
