The Project
Throughout the year, Gasharu Coffee holds small group meetings with coffee farmers to catch up on life, discuss the challenges of coffee farming, and share advice on opportunities.

Although Celestin’s father is not an agronomist, coffee farmers have always sought his advice on farming and processing due to his extensive experience.

Now, Valentin—one of his nine sons—combines both practical farming experience and formal academic training as an agronomist to provide scientifically based guidance on farming and harvesting whenever needed.
Processing at the washing station is carried out by young coffee farmers, while slightly older farmers—mostly women—sort the coffee on tables. This work offers them additional income.
