FARMERS
The people behind your coffee
Hawissa Cooperative
At the heart of our Ethiopia offerings are the farmers of the Hawissa Cooperative in Sidama—a community deeply rooted in coffee tradition. As part of a broader initiative in Jimma and Agaro, we support over 600 family farms facing the challenges of climate change, helping them improve yields and quality. In return, we gain access to distinctive, high-grade coffees that celebrate their land and craftsmanship.
Taste the Story
Meirisch Family
The Meirisch family legacy began in Nicaragua and took root in Honduras in 1900. Today, Wilfredo’s descendants run Cerro Azul, hand-harvesting each cherry. Though labor-intensive, this family approach preserves quality, tradition, and exceptional taste.
Avelino Rodríguez
Avelino Rodríguez, his wife Luza, and their ten children began with 1.5 acres and a dream. Through years of dedication, they expanded their farm to 15 acres. With Agrocafé’s guidance, they improved both yield and quality—transforming their land into a thriving coffee haven.

San Rafael Farm
The San Rafael family farm grows Catuai with care and tradition. Washed at the Palmichal mill, their coffee reflects Tarrazú’s terroir. Though Catuai yields are low, the altitude ensures dense beans and rich sugars—key to its complex, chocolatey profile.
Argenis Anacona
Argenis Anacona is a third-generation coffee farmer in Huila, Colombia, specializing in specialty coffee. Together with her husband and two children, she cultivates Pink Bourbon on a carefully managed 3-hectare farm, focusing on seed selection, minimal spraying, and quality-driven practices.
