This coffee was grown by smallholder farmers in the Guji zone of southwestern Ethiopia. Coffee was collected from many small farms and gardens at the Hambela washing station where it was sorted and milled. The farming culture in this region is different from the Agaro region to the north where wild coffee is picked in forests. In Gujicoffee is cultivated in backyards and small plots of land. With so many small farms, the washing station plays a big part in creating the final product from so many sources. The washing station offers similar services that a co-operative would in the form of training, soil analysis and farm mapping to its 370 member farmers.
