The story

Sharbo acquired the farm in 2015 and estimates that the land has produced coffee for nearly 130 years. He manages it mainly with his sons’ families and is a member of Jabanto, formed in 2017 to help smallholders export independently.

Challenges

Single-farmer purchasing remains relatively rare in Ethiopia, and Sharbo is one of the few Jabanto members with the space and equipment to wash coffee.

Innovations

Cherries are floated and depulped, fermented under water for 24 hours with refreshed water, washed, soaked for another 24 hours, washed again, and dried on raised beds.

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.

Research sources & verification

These source links were recorded for this farm profile. They document its research trail; a linked source is not, by itself, confirmation of every farm, producer, coffee lot or photo identity.
