Farm Story
The Bukusu Washing Station is located on the slopes of Mt. Elgon, offering accessibility to the existing coffee industry in the region. This is the first fully-integrated production facility in a 25km radius that processes and dries coffee prior to milling. Their integration and location has tremendous potential for positive impact in the community.
