Farming methods in the region remain largely traditional. Yirgacheffe farmers typically intercrop their coffee plants with other food crops. This method is common among smallholders because it maximizes land use and provides food for their families.
In addition to remaining traditionally intercropped, most farms are also organic-by-default. Farmers in Yirgacheffe typically use very few—if any—fertilizers or pesticides. Most farm work is done manually by the immediate family.
To capitalise on the magnificent climate, Worka Chelichele provides training to help farmers produce better quality cherry. Training focuses on procedures for harvesting and transporting cherry.
Farmers selectively handpick cherry and deliver it to Worka Chelichele washing station. At the station, employees hand sort incoming cherry to remove any under-ripe or damaged cherry. Cherries are then pulped and fermented for 36 to 48 hours in the station’s 12 standardised fermenting tanks. After fermentation, parchment is washed in clean water and transferred to some of the station’s 360 raised drying beds where they will dry for approximately 18 days. Parchment is raked frequently to ensure even drying. The station marks all drying beds with a code that makes it simple to keep track of traceability and processing status.

Daanisa farmers group is a group of 44 farmers who deliver their cherries to Dambi Uddo washing station. The name comes from the local name for an umbrella-shaped native tree. The daanisa tree has medicinal properties and is used for a wide range of construction purposes. Perhaps most importantly, it is used to shade the region’s coffee trees.
Dambi Uddo Agro Industry founded Dambi Uddo washing station in 2019. Located in Sukkee Qutto in Guji, the high altitudes that often reach above 2,000 meters above sea level provide ideal conditions for cultivating high-quality coffees. This lot is the product of 44 farmers, called Daanisa farmers group, that Dambi Uddo identified who are producing superb coffees and delivering them to the station. Their cherries are processed separately to maintain traceability.
Farmers selectively handpick cherries and deliver them to the washing station. Here, the coffee is sorted to ensure that only the ripest cherries are processed.
This natural coffee is floated in water first to remove any underweight or damaged beans and any debris. After cleaning, the cherries are carried to raised beds. They are raked regularly and visually handsorted to remove any damaged cherry that may have made it through the initial sorting.
After a few days, washing station staff will increase the thickness of the layer to slow the drying and stabilize humidity. The total drying time can take up to three weeks under cloudy conditions, or two weeks should the weather be sunny.
