Space Cowboy - Ethiopia

Mrs Gemedech's land in the famed Idedo region of Yirgacheffe (part of Ethiopia’s southern coffee growing region) is a garden farm where coffee is grown regeneratively under a shade mixed with other fruits and food staples. Fallen leaves and coffee pulp hauled from local mills are the main source of compost. Mrs. Gemedech does not use inorganic fertilizers or pesticides, and her environmental waste is minimal.
Mrs. Gemedech Fulasa was born not too far from where she currently lives, and she is the only child to her parents. She inherited her 4.5 hectare coffee farm when her father passed away in 2011. (In the Gedeo culture, land inheritance usually goes to male children, but she was an only child). She's done wonders with the land, and the literal fruits of her labor are on display in this delicious, high-grade specialty lot.
