About Mikari farm
Mikari wetmill is part of Mikari Farmers Co-operative society based in Kiambu county.
The mill processes cherries from 437 farmers who each cultivate an average of roughly 250 trees on half acre plots. Kiambu county is located just outside of Nairobi city.
The region has a long history of coffee production and is famous for its large estates, which were originally built by British colonists in the early 20th century. After decolonisation the estates were sold to local Kenyans who have been managing them since.
Whileestates such as this used to produce the majority of Kenyan coffee, the increased urban sprawl from Nairobi, as well as the increasing land value in the region has meant that estate coffee production has gradually diminished, while smallholder production
from co-ops like Mikari has increased.
Frequently asked questions
Our passion for coffee comes from our love for the way it’s made, the people who grow it and the care they put in to growing every single coffee plant - making sure each bean is of the highest quality.
From visits to coffee farms across the globe and the close relationships we hold dearly with farmers and trusted import partners, we have embraced our responsibility to do our bit to help make the coffee industry better - starting by knowing exactly where our beans come from, who is growing them and who’s handling it between the farm and us.
Understanding this chain is the key to ensuring a sustainable future for coffee growing communities for years to come and the ability to continually improve quality of coffee and quality of life.
Every one of the coffees we buy is specialty grade, has a story behind it and is grown, harvested, and processed with care and attention.
