People's 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
The People's Farm is a collaborative project located near the village of Gihombo in the Nyamasheke district of Western Rwanda. It is operated by Furaha Umwizeye of Kivubelt Coffee, who works with local small-scale farmers to consolidate their coffee production.
Challenges
Farmers in the region face difficulties related to the remote nature of the area and the small scale of individual land holdings, which often necessitates the consolidation of crops to ensure quality and market access.
Innovations
The farm utilizes a consolidation model that facilitates quality separation and provides smallholder farmers with essential resources and support that would otherwise be inaccessible.
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.
