Hafi station smallholder farmers
Approximately 2,000 smallholder farmers deliver ripe coffee cherry to the Hafi processing station in Muyinga Province. The collective identity is used because the roaster documents the station community rather than naming a single farm owner or producer.
Farm: Hafi processing station →History
The Hafi washing station serves approximately 2,000 smallholder farmers in the remote Muyinga Province of Burundi. Before the station was established, these farmers faced a difficult 20-kilometer journey through hilly terrain to deliver their coffee cherries, which often made same-day processing impossible. The name Hafi, meaning close in the Kirundi language, was chosen by the farmers to represent their aspiration for having processing infrastructure located nearer to their communities.
