The New Gatanga Farmers Cooperative Society has four main wet mills, and Gathanji is one of them, established in 1995. They have a total of 581 small-holder farmers that deliver to this washing station.
This area has deep red volcanic soil that Kenya is known for and the small-holder farmers here take particular care of their land through the support of the agronomists at SMS.
The current production of the whole coop is roughly 250,000 kgs of cherry.
Coffee here is processed traditionally for Kenya - ripe cherries picked by hand and then floated in water to remove debris and under-ripes. Coffee is then fermented and washed several times using clean river water before being dried on raised beds.
