Gathaithi Coffee Factory
This is a research profile, not an independently conducted farm visit. Producer and coffee relationships are shown only when the records agree. Check the research sources below for supporting evidence.
The story
The factory was established in 1967 and operates under Gathaithi Farmers’ Cooperative Society. Klatch says the cooperative operates one factory and offers members farm inputs on credit plus cash advances.
Challenges
Smallholder farmers typically manage very small plots of land, averaging about one half-acre each.
Innovations
Klatch’s exact release is documented as washed; the listing does not disclose fermentation or drying durations. Other cited Gathaithi lots describe a Kenyan soaking phase, which is not assigned to the Klatch release without release-specific evidence.
Published coffees linked to this farm
For blends, a farm may be named for one documented component without growing the entire coffee. These catalog relationships do not independently verify every lot, harvest or producer. See individual coffee profiles for traceability evidence.
