Coffee Farms

“Munzungo, Munzungo,” they screamed as we slugged through some of the toughest roads in Rwanda. The children ran easily alongside the car, our pace on the narrow path slowed by huge potholes and mats of coffee beans drying in the sun. Small villages of no more than eight houses sprang up from the ground as we wound up and down the hills at the clip of a brisk walk. We’d stop and the children would gather around

For a real coffee adventure, why not consider taking a trip to “origin” for your next vacation? Many of the farmers with whom we do business run tours and vacation packages to their farms. The Rogers Family runs many of its Community Aid programs on these farms as well, so you can see the direct impact your purchase is making in coffee communities. Please see the list below and visit their websites. If you would like more information, please contact us, and ask to speak to Pete Rogers.

We have recently placed 2 people in Rwanda to help the farmers learn how to grow better coffee. We are establishing Community Aid programs there, including help with schools, housing, meals and medical aid.

Anna Russo, a development and coffee specialist, is overseeing our projects in this formerly war-torn country that is trying to get back on its feet.
