Weithaga smallholder producers
The Weithaga smallholder producers are a collective of nearly 1,000 farmers who deliver coffee cherries to the Weithaga factory in Murang’a County, Kenya. The factory, which was established in 1969, is operated by the New Weithaga Farmers Cooperative Society. These farmers cultivate coffee on small plots of land, often continuing family legacies that have spanned generations. The cooperative serves as a vital hub for processing and provides essential income and community support for the local region.
Farm: Weithaga Factory →History
The coffee is cultivated in the Aberdare Mountain range, a region noted for its ideal growing conditions including acidic soil and specific sunlight and rainfall patterns. The producers participate in the Kenyan cooperative system, which involves processing, milling, and selling their harvest through the Nairobi Coffee Exchange auction.

A producer may be listed for one explicitly documented component of a blend, not the entire coffee. These catalog relationships do not independently verify every lot or harvest. Check the individual coffee profiles and original research sources.
