What a great visit to the Machare Farm! A beautiful place to stay in the heart of Africa and see coffee production firsthand: from nursery to planting, crop cultivation and environmental management, harvest, pulping, washing, drying . . . . . and a little bit of drinking too! A really encouraging trip with regards to quality of the coffee we're buying and the environmental & social projects that are happening in and around the farm. It was hot and high altitude and we both got sunburned! |

From Tanzania we headed to Uganda to visit AMIGOS and the East Africa Coffee Conference. We got to see for ourselves the great work that AMIGOS are doing in Uganda - working to grow child sponsorship for AIDS orphans to give education and a genuine hope for the future; and developing Kira Farm Training Centre to train orphans in vocational and life skills to give them a sustainable future. A longer-term plan towards self-sufficiency for the project comes through the breeding of chicks. |
| And onto Kampala City for the conference - we saw some wildlife and amazing scenery as well as some fantastic people. Thanks for looking and continuing to journey with us as we aim to provide exceptional coffee and make a real difference to peoples lives!! As always we'd love to hear from you: hello@eacoffee.co.uk |
