Kabtamu family farm
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
Geremew inherited a small portion of land from his parents’ multigenerational coffee-farming family. Tsehay manages production from the family’s trees, while Geremew also works as a local agronomist and supports organic cultivation across the Jabanto group.
Challenges
The farm operates as a smallholder garden-style system, which requires balancing coffee production with the cultivation of essential subsistence crops like enset and taro. Producers in the Yirgacheffe region frequently navigate complex environmental and economic conditions that impact the consistency and management of their coffee harvests.
Innovations
Garden-style intercropping combines coffee with enset and taro; Geremew shares organic farming practices with other producers.
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.
