About the Farms:
Our Uganda beans are purchased as a direct trade with coffee farmers through Mountain Harvest, a Lutheran World Relief organization. Purchasing this coffee helps support Mountain Harvest and Lutheran World Relief’s mission to help rural coffee farmers raise income, increase resilience, and provide smallholder farmers a pathway out of poverty.
This unique coffee hails from the Mountains of the Moon, the glacier-capped Rwenzori Mountain range in Western Uganda. The snow-capped peaks provide ideal conditions for growing specialty coffee with unique flavor profiles. While this region is known for its coffee, the market has not always been equitable to the farmers. To address that, Mountain Harvest is committed to not only improving the lives of coffee farmers and their community, but also improving the state of coffee production and various agricultural practices throughout the region. Rwenzori was the first expansion project for Mountain Harvest to apply their mission and practices for the sake of smallholder farmers. With your purchase of our Rwenzori beans, you become part of that mission.
