This factory services five nearby villages and is made up of close to 1,100 members. Its main water source is the Ruiru river and four pulpers are used for cherry processing. Overseeing the factory is a manager who reports to the Mugaga Farmers Cooperative Society (FCS). There are three representatives from Kagumoini who are a part of this management committee. Part of the factory’s mandate is to ensure the welfare of its farmer members and currently there are programs in place that help provide advances for school fees, farm inputs and training by staff from the Ministry of Agriculture. This year, we have purchased three different lots of Kenyan coffees, all of them AA – the top grade in Kenya. This lot is quite different from your classic Kenyan flavour profile, with lots of nectarine and peach plus a hint of red cherry.
