From the roaster

People's Farm isn't a farm at all — it is an ongoing collaboration between a few hundred small-scale family farmers in the remote village of Murundo and Kivubelt Coffee, a local coffee company that provides them with seedlings, helps them improve farm management, and processes their coffee at its washing station there.
