The Ichamama wet mill processes coffee grown in the rich, fertile lands of Nyeri County where the red volcanic soils in this famous coffee growing region result in thick and sweet fruit. This wet mill is located north of the country’s capital, and not too far from the base of Mount Kenya, near the town of Othaya, but the cherries come from farmers all across the Othaya region who are part of the Othaya Farmer’s Co-operative Society. Coffee cherries come from over 780 smallholder farmers, of which over 270 are women. Across the harvesting calendar, including the main harvest and the fly crop, the Ichamama wet mill processes 493 tonnes of cherry.
