It's named after the community's cliffside setting and signifies the progress and determination required to grow coffee in such rugged terrain. With the help of three producer leaders and our importing partner, Mountain Harvest, the Makali farmers have access to a drying shed, pulping facility, and clean water for coffee processing. Some farmers in the Makali Community have been using a pulping and drying facility provided by Mountain Harvest and received training and support to learn this processing stage and produce high-quality parchment. The decision to process the coffee themselves instead of selling the cherry to be processed stems from the fact that having processed parchment provides tangible savings for the farmers' families. This is a primary focus of Mountain Harvest's work in the region, aiming to build resilient supply chains and empower farmers to become experts in farm-based businesses.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis specific organic-certified lot is grown at 1700 MASL by 140 smallholder farmers as part of the Makali Community on the southern slope of Mount Elgon.

Once picked at peak ripeness from the producers' farms, the cherries are floated to remove damaged or underripe seeds and are de-pulped on the same day. The de-pulped coffee undergoes dry fermentation for 30 hours in concrete tanks or plastic barrels placed in the shade. After fermentation, it is washed with clean water and then dried on raised beds inside solar dryers for an average of 25 days.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur inspiring long-time importer, Semilla, operates in small villages along the Montecillos mountain range in La Paz and Comayagua, where coffee cultivation has long been the primary income for these smallholder communities of growers and producers. Unfortunately, as is the case in these regions, small-scale producers often sell their coffee cherries to intermediaries, receiving low prices that hinder reinvestment in their farms, families, and community. Many struggle to cover labour costs, forcing some to sell their land or migrate to cities or the U.S.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1004\/9428\/files\/Honduras-48.jpg?v=1780322128\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe rural farming community faces challenges like land loss due to foreign investments in livestock and agriculture, exacerbating economic inequality in Honduras.
