This washing station collects cherry from local small farmers in the area. In addition to owning their own farm, Daye Bensa Farm, they also own 16
washing stations and 4 dry mills in Bensa, Aroressa and Chire districts of Sidama.

The washing stations serve as many as several hundred to sometimes a
thousand or more producers, who deliver cherry throughout the harvest
season: The blending of these cherries into day lots makes it virtually
impossible under normal circumstances to know precisely whose coffee
winds up in which bags on what day, making traceability to the producer
difficult. We do, however, make every available effort to source coffee from
the same washing stations every year, through our export partners and their
connections with mills and washing stations.
Typically farmers in this region don't have access to and therefore do not
utilize fertilizers or pesticides in the production of coffee.
