Better coffee, one compost heap at a time!

We create this nutrient-rich soil from composted "waste:" cacao pods, coffee cherry (the fruit of the coffee tree), wood chips, and other mulched plant matter. When we distribute this soil around our coffee trees, they get highly available nutrients and a boost of healthy microbes that help to unlock other nutrients already in the ground.

What does this mean for you? An even better cup of coffee, made using methods that draw carbon out of the atmosphere. Win-win 🤙🏼

These bowls hold the same number of coffee beans! As they roast, the beans lose water weight and puff a bit, crackling like popcorn as they increase in volume.

Meet Īlio, Chief Invasive Mammal Eradication Expert and Head of KRF Security. When we moved to the farm, we saw at least a dozen mongooses a day. Now, those pesky invasive animals are kept well at bay. Thanks, Ili!

The Besserer Boys and their big lawnmowing toys!

Manual methods like mowing, trimming, or hand pulling weeds are more time consuming than simply spraying herbicides. But our trees are loving the extra effort! By letting the weeds grow, then cutting them back, we are building soil organic matter—which traps carbon from the atmosphere in the soil!

Just partway through this year's harvest, and we've had two record-breaking rounds of picking! One weekend we picked over 3,000 lb of cherry 🤯🤩
For context, the farm was in rough shape when we took it on 3 years ago, and we picked just 2,200 lb total during our first harvest season. Our focus on regenerative agriculture is paying off!

Here's 1.5 year old Callan, coffee farmer in the making, checking out the "biiiiiig bags" in the parchment storage room. We need to make room, because more is coming!
