MICROLOT SERIES: MURURI
We are delighted to introduce you to our next Microlot Series: Mururi
Background story
A young man named Simon is bringing back his family’s coffee farm to life.
The 3-hectare farm was once full of coffee trees, but years ago, Simon’s parents cut most of them down. The prices were too low, and farming could no longer support the family.
After studying agribusiness, Simon came back home with a dream—to save the farm.
He started by clearing the land and planting new coffee trees like SL28 and Ruiru 11. He also used better farming methods like mulching, composting, and good pruning.
Simon’s first harvest was small, but the coffee was very good. Now, the farm is growing again, and other young people in the village are watching and learning from him.
Simon is not just farming—he is giving hope to his family and his community.

MEET THE FARMERS
Moyee is in direct contact with more than 658 farmers who grow the cherries of the Single in Limu, Ethiopia. Coffee plants are at an altitude of more than 1,600 meters under the canopy of a natural coffee forest. From November until January, the ripe, red berries are picked by hand and processed at our own washing station.
MEET THE PROCESSING TEAM
Moyee has its own washing station in Limu. During the harvest, the FairChain farmers from the area bring their ripe, red berries here. The berries are washed and, for the best quality, dried slowly on the drying beds. To ensure our quality, the beans are then slowly dried on drying beds.
