Single Farmer Project
The Single Farmer Project is the result of an effort to support Ethiopian producers with a marketplace for farm-traceable coffees.
The project began in 2012, during a turbulent time in Ethiopia's coffee exporting history, Cafe Import's partner and CEO Jason Long worked with an established cooperative to export some of the first ever truly “Farm Traceable” lots from Ethiopia.
This was the first time a roaster could highlight the individual farmer for their Ethiopian Coffee. This project is made possible in conjunction with important export partners supporting and bringing to market individual farmer lots.
We roast on every Monday and dispatch on Tuesday.
