Suke Quto Farm was established in 2005 with the idea of establishing a farm where organic coffee will be grown in the shade of the surrounding trees. Originally the farm had 5 ha, today its area is already 221 ha. When a forest fire destroyed most of the surrounding forest a few years ago, local farmers started planting corn and Teff (or Abyssinian millet, which is the tiniest grain in the world and suitable for celiacs). The disadvantage of these crops is that they cause soil erosion, leaving the land barren and depleted after a few years. Tesfaye came up with a different idea, planting coffee trees and trees to provide shade. Today, over 150 farmers help him build these organic "coffee forests", who then import their crops to Suke Quto's farm for processing.
Coffee is mainly processed using washed and dry methods (natural). Wet method fermentation takes around 36 to 72 hours depending on the weather. The coffee is then dried in the sun on African beds for approximately 9 to 13 days. There are currently around 200 coffee drying beds on the farm. With the dry method, the coffee dries longer because the pulp has to dry as well, and drying takes around 21 to 27 days.
