About smallholders delivering to the Gakenke washing station of Burundi
This coffee comes to us from the hills of Burundi, the heart of Africa. Gakenke Washing Station is located in the province of Kayanza and was established in 1991. Farmers here own less than half a hectare of land, on average, and in addition to growing coffee, they also grow crops like bananas, beans, yams, taro, and cassava, both for sale and for household use. There are 2,667 farmers that deliver to this washing station, each farmer holding only 250 trees on roughly a tenth of a hectare.
