Farmlevel Story
Farmlevel
Kinini Village was established in 2014 by Jacquie Turner and Malcolm Clear. They wanted to find a way to have a generational impact on communities without solely relying on fundraising money. Kinini Coffee signed a "lease" on parcels of land owned by various farmers throughout the area. This lease stipulated that Kinini would provide all these farmers with coffee trees, training, and organization. All the farmers had to do was agree to deliver these cherries to the Kinini Washing Station when they fruited in the future, for which they would receive payment. The local and federal governments processed due diligence on the lease to ensure farmers did not experience exploitation for their work.
Kinini Coffee started distributing coffee seedlings to farmers, setting up training, building their washing station, and organizing farmers. Whenever a farmer had a coffee inquiry, they would consult three specialists that would discuss responses before making the most informed decision—a truly detailed-oriented team. Three years after planting their trees (2017), they had their first substantive harvest. Farmers treat their coffee with care at the washing station, during cherry collection, and at drying tables, creating a truly high-quality product.
