The Story Behind the Coffee

Gachatha Coffee Factory rests on a 392-acre piece of land between the villages of Muthuaini, Thiriku, Gachenge, and Kianjau. It started in 1963 and its current members stand at 1,542. Cooperative members can access pre-financing for school fees, access to farm inputs, and funds for emergency needs from funds set aside from the previous year’s harvest.

The factory treats all wastewater in soaking pits to ensure no contaminates run into the local waterways, which are a source for drinking water. The community also places great importance on protecting the indigenous trees that remain in the area, so that the local bird life remains intact. The region is rich with deep, fertile, well-drained red volcanic soils, ideal for coffee production.
