About

Gakuyu-ini Coffee Factory was established in 1982 on a two-acre site in Ngariama, Kirinyaga County, Kenya. It serves smallholder farmers from the nearby villages of Githiru, Gituba and Mukure, and is affiliated with Thirikwa Farmers’ Co-operative Society. Each producer farms less than one hectare, using compost and farm byproducts to maintain soil health, with inorganic fertilisers applied only when necessary.
