"Abebe Cherfo owns 11 farm plots (5.24 hectares), where he only grows coffee—predominantly Kurume, a local Ethiopian Heirloom subvariety. This land is near Reko, a village in the Kochere region, sitting at altitudes between 1900 and 2000 metres above sea level.
With these cherries, he produces washed coffees in the Jabanto Producers Group, from which he has been a member since 2019. Abebe’s production is one of the few in the area that can claim organic certification.
These days, coffee is the only source of income for his large family. Diversification is his top priority in the coming years, and he plans to invest his profits into retail businesses such as cafes, restaurants, and other logistics."

"Luz Helena grew up in Armenia and has been producing coffee for the last 20 years. She owns Maracay, an 8-hectare farm located at 1450 m.a.s.l, in Armenia Quindio. Luz is Carlos and Felipe’s mother, the co-founders of Cofinet and wife of Jairo Arcila.
Luz’s passion for coffee was inspired by her husband’s work on coffee farms and as a dry mill manager. Luz would hear Jairo talking about coffee and wanted to be more involved in the industry. With the support of Jairo, Luz started learning how to care for coffee plants and what steps she needed to take to produce high-quality, ripe cherries. Luz found dealing with insects very challenging at the start and would draw on Jairo’s knowledge to help with this.
For several years now, her focus has been on producing high quality (‘specialty’) coffee. With the support of Cofinet, Luz has been able to improve farm practices and focus on producing the best cherries she can. Once ripe, the cherries are then processed by Cofinet at their processing station, La Pradera.
When Luz is not tending to her coffee trees, she enjoys spending time with her friends and being part of local support groups for vulnerable people."
