A working journal for roasters. Harvest reports, processing logs, soil science, and the unedited reality of running ten organic acres on the equator. Written by the people who grow it.
We pulled three soil cores, ran two weather years, and argued with an agronomist for a week before we took out the first stump. This is the case for the ten acres on the eastern shoulder of the Lake Victoria basin: the elevation, the soil panel, and why this ground and no other.
Founder of Morceau Farms. Kenyan-American, splitting time between the ten-acre estate in Muhoroni, Kisumu County and the import office in North Carolina. MBA, second-generation farmer. Started Morceau to put a Muhoroni-origin specialty coffee on the US market for the first time, on the ground from soil sample to cupping table.
For trade only. We send when the cherries do, usually 6× a year.
