The Kiriani Farmers Co-Operative Society Ltd is made up of approximately 300 growers each farming around 100 hectares of coffee in the deep, rich volcanic that is also organically rich. The Baragu area receives around 1200mm of rainfall a year allowing an early crop to be harvested from June to July.
Timely and selective hand picking is carried out in Baragu. Cherry is delivered to wet mill the same day it is picked. Cherry sorting is carried out at the wet mill prior to the pulping. Red ripe cherries are separated from underipes, overipes and foreign matter. Processing uses clean river water (wet processing) that is recirculated before disposal into seepage pits. Sun drying on raised tables is done before delivery of the coffee to the dry mill for secondary processing.
