The Kayon Mountain Coffee Farm spans 500 hectares -300 of which are planted with coffee - and has been owned and operated by Ismael Hassen Aredo and his family since 2012. Located 510 km south of Addis Ababa, the farm stretches across the villages of Taro and Sewana in the Guji zone.

Ismael employs 25 full-time workers and up to 300 seasonal staff, offering free transportation and contributing to school and community infrastructure. By paying higher wages, the farm ensures skilled pickers return each season.

Using shade trees like acacia, the farm produces both Natural and Washed lots with meticulous attention to processing and sustainability.
