Discover our farms - Agri Evolve, Uganda
Our most recent Welcome Guest coffee, African mood is from Agri Evolve.
Agri Evolve is a profit for purpose business which offers an outlet for farmers to sell their unprocessed coffee, take ownership of the quality control and together improve the reputation of the coffee produced in the Rwenzori.
Over the course of the next 5- years Agri Evolve rapidly expanded to become the largest employer in the Kisinga Region, bringing new economic stability and job opportunities to the community. This growth was driven by an ever increasing reputation for high-quality coffee from the Rwenzori Mountains.
With a focus on staff empowerment and education Johnny, the owner, has managed to build the team to over 80 skilled individuals sourcing and processing coffee from thousands of farmers across the Rwenzori mountains.
African Moon is our community-sourced natural-processed arabica coffee, coordinated by the Agri Evolve staff. This coffee goes back to their humble
beginnings where DRUGAR was all we could source in abundance from Farmers.
More than 1000 passionate farmers contribute to this regular seasonal harvest. Typical farmers' plot sizes will range from one to three acres and are located across the hillsides of the luscious Rwenzori mountains.
This coffee is regularly the primary income for many of the families of the Rwenzoris. The Natural process has always been the commonly practiced method for producing coffee in the Rwenzoris.
A recurring sight as you travel through the mountains is seeing farmers drying their harvests on tarpaulins out the front of their homes. Once processed the coffee is then sourced by Agri Evolve and sorted into appropriate lots organised by location and date.
Despite encouragement to sell coffee as cherries, there is still a demand driven by farmers to produce traditional natural processed coffee as it is deep-
rooted in the history of the Rwenzori people. Over many generations, they have developed and refined the optimum method of treating their coffee creating unique flavours from the Mountains of the moon.
