Mwendo Hills Farmers Co-operative Society

Mwendo Hills is a co-operative society of smallholders in Nyeri County, each growing a few hundred trees of SL28 and SL34. Members deliver cherry to the society's wet mill, where it is pulped, fermented, washed in channels and dried on raised beds. Kenyan coffee is graded by bean size and density, so each lot is separated before sale.
