The Farm Story
The Halo Washing Station, located at 2100 masl near Worka Town in Gedeb, sources cherries from around 170 smallholder farms ranging from 0.5 to 2 hectares at 1925–2110 masl. Close proximity to the station means farmers transport cherries within 40 minutes, preserving quality. Managed by Origin Land Coffee, the station ensures meticulous processing: cherries are pulped with an Agaarde Disc Pulper, fermented for 48–100 hours, and dried on raised beds for 8–20 days. Founded in 2022 by Abenezer Asfaw and Mikyas Alemu, Origin Land Coffee emphasizes transparency and partnerships, enhancing standards in Ethiopia’s coffee supply chain.
